Is there an adapter available to convert the end of a Milwauke grease gun hose to accept normal threaded ends?
Plus. is the Draper cordless gun any good? want something different to the Milwauke.
Sealy one is crap.chucked it on scrap heap.

No, like the Milwauke but it is a bit ungainly to get into some tight places,whereas a normal pistol grip one is a bit easier to hold sometimes.

Umm that's partly why I not bought the Milwaukee yet and sticking with my old alemite 14v which is a nice design and other than having to buy some cheap Ryobi batteries to replace the originals it never misses a beat IMO

I have the old mark 1 alemite 14volt the newer 14volt uses a different style battery connection although I bet its same as another more common tool brand.

Milwaukee hose end is 1/8” NPT threaded. So when ordering a G-C ensure it’s the correct thread.

They look the bis with 10,000lbs pressure,but maybe a bit too much £ for me for a second gun.

nothing wrong with a standard Alemite 3 jaw coupler, cheap as chips and lasts ages, plus they are compact.

Had one of those as I thought it would be ideal for getting onto tight nipples and through pto guards being more compact than a g coupler. lasted less than a week before I got fed up with it jamming, gone back to the allemite 3 jaw couplers now

Got one on grease gun and it works great , locks on and you can crank the pressure up with both hands on the gun , to get those lazy pins greased BUT it wont work with lots of grease nipples pretty much any sparex/aftermarket nipples wont work as the OD is just to big for it to lock on to , I have to buy OEM nipples from JCB as they are sized correctly , to be fair its the Sparex nipples at fault because they wont thread into the jcb pins or casting fully either despite being the correct thread size , i think they are either galvanized or plated to thick that must thicken the tread and put the nipple OD oversize.
