How does everyone store their grease guns in hot weather to contain the mess ?
Sick of cleaning up melted grease

I keep mine in the gun safe. It doesn't leak, but whoever ends up on the businesses end of it and does something stupid will find themselves leaking regardless of the weather.

I have one in my truck tool box , and it doesn't seem to make a mess it gets wrapped in a rag

the others are in the basement.

my dad always kept his in a plastic bag under the seat in his van , he mostly only greased the boat and trailer.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

pretty much what I do, never heard of it getting so hot that grease would run out of a grease gun.

I have two of them hanging on a post outside of my tool shed. One has a flexible hose and the other a metal tube. They drip in the summer but I don’t care.


Eh...wot?

Don't live in a place that tries to cook you to death. Never had a problem here in Michigan.

I save old socks and put them over the gun tip and store vertical in 5-gallon bucket with extra tubes and rags. I use it every day on equipment and this works for me.

I put mine up so the kids wouldn't be playing with it. Now I can't find it. Maybe I'll never find it and not have to worry about a mess.

If the grease is melting. I'd use better grease.

We use a pair of metal 55 gallon drums for trash cans at the farm. One has about 4 grease guns hanging on the lip of the barrel. Handle is only thing on the outside , that way all the mess stays in the can. Pile of grease rags on the can also. When I take them to a tractor / implement I put the gun and extra tube in a 5 gallon bucket in the back of the truck. Keeps the mess contained-mostly !

Hang mine by the handle over a conduit pipe for the plug sockets along the wall.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Every time I go to use one the dang thang is always empty. I guess I am the only one at work who knows how to put in a fresh tube.
