About Park Tool GG-1 Bicycle Grease Gun
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
66% liked the variety of compatible accessories, while 34% found limited options
The grease container has a sliding base at the bottom with a precision tip that delivers a fine thread of grease smoothly.
I was surprised and disappointed to find metal shavings inside the device meant for greasing ball bearings.
82% appreciated the easy cleaning process, but 18% found it tedious
The grease gun makes reapplying grease easy and convenient without the hassle of gloves, messy jars, or brushes.
It is convenient and clean to screw a tube of Park grease on instead of filling the tube.
I spent two hours removing dozens of metal specks from the clogged tip using a magnifying glass and super fine needle.
87% found it comfortable to hold and use
The grease gun has a sliding base on the bottom of the container. To get the best performance, give it a gentle push to squeeze out air pockets and push the grease upwards after every go. The gun works well with a smooth action and a precision tip delivering a fine thread of grease.
75% appreciated its rugged construction, though 25% experienced breakage
The fit and finish of the grease gun is poor and the threads are poorly cut.
I washed the new gun thoroughly to remove any production debris, blew it out with an air compressor, wiped it with woven shop towels, and blew it out again. Based on my experience, I can say that the durability of the grease gun is not up to the mark.
81% found it easy to reload and operate
This grease gun is much easier and less messy to use compared to other similar versions.
It's easy to use the grease-gun, but I have to back it off a bit before it starts shooting grease.
The grease gun works very well with a smooth action and a precision tip delivering a fine thread of grease. I have also given some tips on how to use it.
85% liked the large grease capacity, but 15% needed frequent refills
I suggest that the grease gun has a smooth action and precision tip for delivering a fine thread of grease. The sliding base at the bottom of the container should be gently pushed to remove air pockets and push the grease upwards after each use.
The grease gun is intended to be filled with a plastic tube of grease, like the 4 ounce tube that Park Tool sells.
80% liked the long and flexible hose, while 20% found it too stiff
The grease container has a sliding base and after every use, I give it a gentle push to squeeze out air pockets and push the grease upwards. The gun works very well with a smooth action and a precision tip delivering a fine thread of grease.
The sliding cap or cup shaped sliding bottom piece has a loose fit and no seal, causing the grease film to ooze and run from the can.
80% praised for its leak-free design, though 20% experienced spills
The grease gun dispenses a fine line of grease and is great for applications where messy clean up is not desired.
I have used the grease gun and found it to be ideal for those who use a lot of grease, want precision, and reduced mess. It would be great if Park Tool could make a large 16 ounce tube or something that fits into a caulking gun.
The bottom part of the gun has a play which causes a lot of grease to escape making a mess.
82% praised for its quiet operation, while 18% found it too loud
When I use the grease gun, the noise level doesn't bother me.
Due to poor design, the grease started to ooze out at the bottom of my gun. It's not like Park at all.
I noticed metal shavings in the tip of the grease-gun which caused noise while using it.
