    I got this grease gun from O'Reilly's but I CAN NOT get it to slip over the zerks. Could it have the wrong size coupler? Any help is appreciated. IMG_1938.jpg

    Check the fitting on the end of the hose. Some can be unscrewed/screwed to lessen or add more tension to the fitting. Too much and it may not fit over the zerk.

    I bought the same grease gun and have similar kind of trouble. The coupler will loosen to fit over the zerk but when tightening the coupler it just backs off and won't actually hold on to the zerk.

    You should be able to buy another coupler it might cost as much as a low end grease gun
