Grease Gun Storage

Grease guns can leak, gather dust, and become a general mess. I built a storage container for my gun out of ABS pipe.

Materials...

2 ea     3" ABS Pipe caps

1 ea     Short piece of 3" ABS pipe

I marked the center of one end of the pipe. I drew layout lines for where the handle of the grease gun is going fit. I also drilled holes to start the bottom of the handle slots.

Using a hacksaw, I cut slots in the pipe for the handle of the grease gun. I also filed the bottom of the slots square with a file.

I drilled holes in the pipe for mounting. On the opposite side of the pipe from the mounting holes, I drilled a larger hole so that a srewdriver and screw could pass through to access the mounting holes. I stood the pipe off from the mounting location using nuts. This was so that the end caps could be removed.

Here is the grease gun inside the container.

I drilled an angled hole near the bottom of the pipe as a place to store the nozzle. You can also see the bottom cap installed. Note that I did not use glue to attach the bottom cap. This is so that it can be removed to clean out any drippings.

This picture shows the handle of the grease gun and the top cap installed as a dust cover.

I hope you liked my first instructable.
