My bar tip gun came up missing recently, if anyone has one they would like to part with let me know, thanks

I don't suppose I know what one looks like.

I prefer to find one that has some history behind it and was not made in Taiwan or maybe its Vietnam with H.D these days

Sorry for the delay John, did not see your post until  now, see attached for a poor picture of the tool, lay tool on bar and press, the tip will collapse a little and grease will be injected. Thanks

The one their showing is the one that they sell at Home Depot and Lowe's. I just found an Alemite Hydraulic Gun model 6550. It has a grease fitting end that you would screw off and replace it with the pointed tip. There's a pile of them on Ebay. This one is 90 % or better.

Thanks, the one in the picture looks identical to a version my father had many years ago so the design cannot be new.

Just checked out the 6550, I have a few of these, there is an older version of the one I show in the link above, this is preferable because it requires less hands to use. Thanks anyway though
