There are a couple of options on the Alemite . The 500 has the rigid pipe, the 500e the flexi pipe. I have the 500e as I find it easier to use in the tight space around the prop. It’s a lever gun, not a pistol grip, but once coupled you have both hands free or can tuck it under your arm and use the “bagpipe method “ Smile. Once coupled I hold the coupler on the nipple and close the leaver a little while I do so this creates pressure and causes the coupler to lock on.

On a related note, I fitted one of these to my grease gun - makes life much easier as it locks onto the fitting and therefore a lot more grease actually goes in than splurges out of the side:

Those are great, I've been using them for years. There are some situations where they won't fit due to limited clearance, but everywhere else they are a real boon.

Does the above fit Puma UJ’s? That’d be my concern? The UJ’s are a pain with the nipple orientation the way they are being a narrow access.
Lost count of how many times with my old one that it wouldn’t lock on. Just makes the job more tedious and even more of a mess. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

Got one of these. Little on the pricey side compared to a manual gun, but works well with the rest of our M18 kit Thumbs Up

As the Alemite had some positive response on here, And no one appears to have anything negative to say on it.
I would suggest that would be a good one to get a price on.
Once a price is available, even if it is dependent on a minimum order number, maybe a count of who definitely wants one can be done.
