All my grease guns are as old as my CJ2A. Only half the grease goes where it should.
What is the best replacement grease gun coupler out there?

Some have three little jaws inside and some have four. The ones that have four have a better grip and don’t pop off as easily and seem to last a little longer. I bought a clip on attachment at the auto store a while back and like it. It’s good for hard to reach places.

LockNLube couplers are pretty good.  One of my buddies that works on heavy equipment swears by them.  I have one and it doesn't work for all situations on my four-wheeling rig (angles not right) but if you can hit the fitting straight on they do not come off.

If your zerks are plugged with hard grease you'll have problems no matter what coupler you use. same with aftermarket chi-com zerks-the heads seem to be smaller..

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to get a LockNLube coupler and see if I swear by it or at it.
I clean the hard grease out of the old zerks and reinstall them. This is the place to come for answers.
