[Shop-talk] air operated grease guns.

[Bob Spidell]

Not the exact answer to your question, but ...

For (probably) less than $20, get one of the small, "pistol-grip" cartridge greasers.  They don't hold a lot of grease--maybe enough to do your Tahoe twice--but you only need one hand to operate, and you don't have to fire up your compressor.  

These are available at most any hardware (OSH, ect.) or car parts store.  I prefer the type with the trigger lever on the same side as the grease outlet.
