Abstract

A grease gun extension device that supports a flexible grease gun extension tube allowing the user to securely position the grease tip onto a grease fitting without having to use a second hand to force the grease tip onto the grease fitting. A series of rigid elongate tube supporting members are pivotably attached via spring biased locking knobs and radial gear tooth panels located at the ends of each rigid tube supporting member, allowing the user push on the locking knob, bend the flexible extension tube to the desired angle and release the locking knob to have the radial gear tooth panel sets lock the flexible tube at a fixed angle.
