Grease gun

A grease gun was a type of maintenance tool. One model had a nozzle to dispense lubricant after being warmed in a heating element attached to the side of the tool and was used to oil the joints of droids. A smaller model of grease gun with a barrel could be used to repair hyperdrives. Another model with a longer body and barrel was used on podracers.
