What grease gun for narrow/hard to reach places?

I have some grease nipples with problematic accessibility that a standard gun does not get there due to its size.
So I got a grease gun from a friend that has a flexible hose that was ok, but still the end was too big in dia. to get in between the narrow space I have there.
So, I assume I need a grease gun with a flexible hose but a smaller head then std that still be be fitting a std grease nipple...
Please your recommendations.
Thanks and a nice weekend.

Re: What grease gun for narrow/hard to reach places?

I bought a grease gun accessory kit from Harbor Freight years ago and it has all the end fittings to reach all the needed places on my M20. However, I replaced all the quirky original grease fittings with zerks. The threads match with the M20 female threads and they will mate better with the HF end fittings without leaking/squirting grease sideways everywhere.

Good luck.

Thanks Dave.
Can you pls write the make of this kit?
I'll try to find it online (we do not have Harbor Freight over here).
Thanks again.

Second fitting proper nipples to replace those genuine Tecament tapered ones.
I use a Tricor gun at home and when going to rallies that are a week or more or if I ma riding to it.
The Tricor guns have no plunger and don't leak.
They have long hoses on the and and you can buy a 90 deg coupler for the end if direct access is difficult, like wheel hubs
I have a normal ( strait ) 45 deg & 90 deg .
Any bearing shop or engineering supply shop will carry them as they are standard stock items

Sorry, I checked the HFT (Harbor Freight Tools) online store and they no longer carry the fitting kit. However, essentially the same kit is available on Amazon.com

see:

https://www.amazon.ca/Tooluxe-61077L-Lubrication-Accessory-Multi-Function/dp/B002RMMXG8

$42.00 US.

Also locknlube for about $70 US

see also:

As I recall the HFT was about the same price as the Tooluxe kit.

HFT also sells a zerk kit, metric and SAE, for about $6.00 - $8.00 US

see:

I'm sure a google search on both products will result in more available choices.

Good luck
