    Okay so these things have little nipples poking out all over the place underneath. You plug a thing on that is similar to old time bicycle ride pumps. Once the hose is connected to the bib, you operate a lever to force grease in. It's a guess when enough is enough. Guarantee the son pumps that thing too many times and ends up will a blob of grease squirting out over there that he does not know what to do with.
    So, I did a quick google search that came up with nothing but baby bibs with "Pink ladies" or "T Birds" on them. I found this just as amusing as the suggestion you made. I like the idea, but I need a little more to go on. When would you need to do this? What is it greasing exactly?

    Take a look for Zerk fittings or grease zerks (really - that's another name for them ... zerk)

    Lots and lots of shop rags! I can only imagine! XD

    I looked at the links you sent and realized i had been searching too specifically, do i did a general search. The cheapest one on ebay was the exact one I needed! I might also get the tornado engine one.
