Grease guns, such simple tools yet the 2 I bought failed miserably one after 
the other.  The first one leaked from a hole in side of the tube, the second 
one leaked from about every orifice.  After some online research it seems that 
there are still some good guns made.  Grease guns with some good reviews: 
plews, alemite, lincoln.   The price is actually not that much higher than the 
auto-parts store brands. 

It's just hard to figure where they're actually manufactured.  Not one spec  
sheet mentions this detail. I am currently leaning towards buying an Alemite 
Professional 500

I'd like to hear if anybody has good experience with these guns.  Do you prefer 
lever guns or pistol grip?  Also what kind of extension do you prefer for the 
Healey: rigid or flexible?

all input appreciated.
