Bob,

I don't have an answer, but I'd like to know as well--my lawnmower grease
fittings have the same problem.

Here's a possible solution:

I've never used one, so can't vouch for sure, but looks like it would 
work.  Cheap Chinese knock-offs are available as well.  I've found that 
couplers that grasp the nipple really well are sometimes difficult to 
uncouple.

I have the related problem.  I can't seem to disconnect from the zerks 
without using my channel locks. Maybe replacing the gun fitting is the 
answer?

I=E2=80=99ve had a Lock =E2=80=98n Lube for a few years now and it does =

=20

They=E2=80=99ve got to be held absolutely straight onto the zerk nipple =
or they=E2=80=99ll leak =E2=80=93 not like old couplers that just =

don=E2=80=99t see any split where they=E2=80=99ll unscrew to loosen them =
or change the lock pieces, but whatever =E2=80=93 they mostly work =
despite being hideously expensive for simple grease couplers.

=20

Oh to go back to the 1960=E2=80=99s and buy a handful of regular Made in =
USA couplers that actually work properly.
