Dont think they make them ,but i got it off the truckView attachment 41113

I have a similar one, Ingersoll lube kit... believe the gun is made by Astro. Except it doesn't require a "special" tube/cartridge. Can be refilled with anything.

The best grease for a saw sprocket ever is 880 crown n chassis from Texas refinery. Just stirring up stuff That is the best grease I've ever used by far real good *s-words expensive though

The little Oregon bar tip greaser is on amazon for something like 8 bucks.I'm going to give it a try,some grease is better than none.

I have used the Oregon ones. They work great but can break easy if dropped on concrete. One roled off the bench and snapped the whole end off.
I use them on every saw that comes into the shop even if just to sharpen the chain. We sell alot of them that way.

I've always been a believer in the fact that cheap grease is better than no grease. And cheap grease in frequent intervals is as good as the best grease used when convenient.

These are nice, too. Plews Lubri-Matic 05-042. Couples right up in your greasegun nozzle but can be hard to find if it gets rolling through the shop somewheres....

Spotted a similar luber (posted by OP) at HD under the brand "PowerSource", I think. Same "profiled" grip and filled with blue grease. It was $5.

That said, I don't grease the tips on the bars of my echos.... my dad's Stihl doesn't even have a hole. He's had that thing for 30yrs with the original laminated bar, home-gamer, cutting a small amount of firewood for home heating.

Where did you pick this greaser up Brush Ape? I've not seen one like you have pictured. I have the standard one with out the bumper grip but would like one to leave in my field box for saws and one to leave on the bench.

I got it at Rural King Jimmy. I love my one that fits the normal size grease gun, but if this thing works out it will be my field lube and save the removable tip for the serious bar maintenance at the shop.

Non-syn greases are mixtures of soap & oil, and separate. I'm partial to Valvoline "Full-Synthetic" grease (lithium EP) from local parts store. How much can it cost for a shot or two from a HF cheapie gun?
Only OEM bar without grease hole I've seen is on 6100 Dolly.
The blue grease in my Oregon shooter is almost too pretty to inject.
