How do you store your grease gun? Does it always leak?

A while ago I upgraded my grease gun to a nice big one thinking it would help with my cheapo that kept leaking. As you can see, it has not solved my issue.

So I need to ask to other folks... is this just the way it is with grease guns? You can't have it loaded and sit and not leak? I'm just a DIYer so my grease gun isn't always used. I can't load them up until I need to use it?

Yep, same here. I have it on the bottom of my peg board so it leaks in the same spot, but it always leaks.

Have not met a grease gun that doesn't leak. They all do at one point.

I’d love to know if there are any suspension components that can be greased instead of replaced or any any other parts of the car you use your grease gun on? I own one for the boat

Mine is under my work bench. I don`t think I`ve used mine on any car in the last 10 years.

My grease gun hangs in the corner of the shed on a nail in a very greasy stud. That stud will never rot in a thousand years because of all the grease that has soaked into it over the years from said grease gun. Do Not, however, smoke or otherwise create a spark near it because it'll go up like a New Years firework and likely take the rest of the shed with it.

On older cars, yes. I use mine on trailer wheel bearings and pillow bearings where my dock meets the gangplank. No use on any of my cars.
