Grease tube storage

[toyotadriver]

Anyone have a good way to store unused grease tubes?

I keep 3 different grease guns with 3 different types of grease for my needs. I keep at least 2-4 extra tubes around the shop along with what’s in the grease guns. Currently I just keep them on a shelf. I’d like to find a better way to store them. Any recommendations/pics?

Thanks in advance

Sticks of PVC.

I like the idea for storing the gun but I’m looking for ideas how to store the tubes of grease themselves. Thanks for the response!

I built a box, filled with sticks of plastic pipe. They keep the tubes upright and organized.

Always store grease cartridges with the pull off tab down.

This is what I use to store a carton of 10 grease cartridges. Top load, bottom dispensing. You can see at a glance how many you have in inventory.

It is a prototype I made twenty years ago.

In my service truck I use a group 27 plastic battery box

I just keep them in the cabinet (old kitchen style) where the oil jugs are. I do have a oil pad down to catch any errant leakage.

Mine are just on a shelf in the pole barn. My guns and partially used tubes are in a plastic tub with a lid.

The new tubes I just keep in the box sealed end down. I have found that the guns work best if hung with the head down, that way the grease stays in the head and you dont have a big air bubble to bleed out just when your needing to use it.

That's a fantastic idea, I might have to make my own version.

You should sell those, I would buy one.

Thanks Jeepster.

I ran into the same problem as others with a bright idea. In order to bring it to market at a reasonably attractive price point the initial investment was way beyond my means.

And even if I did that ......within six months the market would have been flooded with inferior or questionable quality clones.

...And you can bet Jeg's would be the first to do it.

I have them all in a small bucket. Another bucket holds the grease guns.

Old thread bumped, but what the hell....

My tubes are just standing up on a shelf with other fluids and shop supplies.

I buy it by the case, so I just leave them in the box on the shelf.

for my oddball stuff (ie food grade, etc.) that I only keep one or two around, an empty saran wrap or aluminum foil box works perfect. I just lay the tube in the box so it won't roll around.
