I had a customer looking for empty tubes and we couldn't find anything. "We" being the collective effort of many at the multi-million $$ bulk oil and lube company I work for.

Is that really a problem? Do people really get grease all over their selves using a standard grease gun?

I guess I've just been using grease guns for enough decades now that I don't remember EVER making a big mess with one. Nothing more than a wipe or two with a single shop towel can't take care of.

God, am I that old? I still remember the old grease guns for Alemite fittings; there was also a (British IIRC) lock on version of these (2 dog ear pins to hold it in place, a spring loaded ball in the tip of the fitting). When you're done you wipe off the fitting and go to the next - it has he added benefit of making sure you wipe off the fittings. I've used these for decades, everything from old cars and motorcycles to the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge, and never had an issue with them, whereas the "zerk" fitings for me were problematic - clogging, breaking off, etc.

We even (on the bridge) had to flush out the 36-42" rocker pins on the bridge (they hadn't been serviced in literal decades) and to do it we put an old school alemite adapter on the end of an airless paint sprayer, where the fittings were absent or non-existant, replaced them, loaded the pot of the sprayer with Kroil, attached the alemite fitting, and oushed the Kroil in under whatever insanely ridiculous pressure those airless units ran at... as long as it was seated correctly, it had ZERO issues delivering the goods to the pin cavities.

I wouldn't DARE try that with a common zerk ******, unless we wanted to do a pressure dermal injection of Kroil. Sometimes, the old ways are better...

TAT thrust on is the British name for those, if those are the ones I am thinking off,

I have a lube shuttle gun, the whole point is the grease tube screws on the gun, your not having to get the empty tube which is covered in grease out of the sleeve, then shove a new one in and put the gun back together, the actual gun operation is the same, just changing tubes is clean and very fast.
But it is more expensive.
