Hi All,

I need to grease all the joints in the mini, but I dont have a grease gun, never done it before.
I have a $50 Bunnings voucher, so figured i'd use that the buy a grease gun.

Will this gun and cartridge do the job?

Or do I need a different sort of grease?

Cheers

That gun and grease will work fine.

You might want to invest another $12 for the flex hose for those hard to get places. http://www.bunnings.com.au/kincrome-300 ... e_p6100314

I think for about $40 you can get the K8009 through special orders at Bunnings. It's a better gun because it has a pistol grip instead of a lever - makes one handed operation easier.

It's listed on the bottom of that first link you provided. Looks like it's gone up 5 bucks from when I got it mid last year?
