A grease gun is a common workshop and garage tool used for lubrication. The purpose of the grease gun is to apply lubricant through an aperture to a specific point, usually on a grease fitting or 'nipple'.

The close fitting of the apertures ensures that lubricant is applied only where needed. There are three types of grease gun:
