    So I bought this pneumatic grease gun>>> http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/d ... number=219
    I've followed the directions but I think something was lost in the Chinese to English translation. I can't get the dang thing to work! It shouldn't be this difficult. Anyone have one?

    Thanks

    I know my "hand pump" one has to be "primed" or it won't work, there's a plug on the side of the head you remove and then put back in once grease begins to ooze out.

    It's just like the one I have you should be able to just pull the trigger.

    not to rain on the parade or anything....a guy at work bought one of those, and returned/traded it in twice before he got one that would pump.

    they do need to be primed, if you didnt try that already.

    Rain is fine. I'm calling the 800 number in the morning to see if they can help me, if not I'm taking it back for a hand operated one. I should've gone the simple route. :?
