Mini-Grease Gun: working now

[DMartin9N-2N]

Good evening: As a follow up to my two previous posts about Mini-Grease Gun, it is now working.

It seems when I tried it after filling, I did not know how far the squeeze handle needed to be squeezed. Normally the squeeze handle is about two and one half inches from the cylinder that holds the cartridge. When I was trying the gun, I would squeeze it down to about one-half inch away from cylinder body. BUT, the action happens in that last half inch of travel. It feels like a detent, but it can be squeezed that last little bit, and that is when the grease will come out! Mission accomplished.

Thanks to folks who made suggestions.
