The Sealey Grease Nipple Unblocker (AK43) is designed for mechanics and workshop professionals who encounter seized or hardened grease fittings. Its primary benefit is clearing these blockages by forcing lubricant into the joint with hammer impact, restoring lubrication flow. A key consideration is that it requires a lubricant like paraffin or light oil to function effectively. This tool features a hammer-driven action, durable construction, flexible or direct connection options, a built-in hand guard, and includes spare plunger seals for maintenance.

You should use paraffin or a light oil. These are effective at dissolving hardened grease and can be easily forced through the blockage.
Unscrew the rear cap of the unblocker. Remove the old plunger and seals, then install the new seals onto the plunger before reassembling the tool.
It is designed for standard grease nipples. Its effectiveness may vary depending on the severity and nature of the blockage. Very old or severely damaged fittings might not be salvageable.
The flexible hose allows you to reach grease nipples in difficult-to-access locations without needing to maneuver the entire tool into a tight space.
The tool is described as having 'heavy-duty' construction, indicating it is built to withstand regular use in tough workshop and field environments.
No, the tool operates using manual hammer impact. No external power source or batteries are needed.
Ensure sufficient lubricant was used, and repeat the hammer impact process. If the blockage is severe, a longer soaking time with the lubricant may be required, or the fitting might be damaged beyond repair.
Check that the unblocker is securely attached to the nipple and that there are no leaks. Verify that the plunger and seals are in good condition. Ensure the nipple itself is not completely destroyed.
Check the integrity of the threads and connections. Ensure the plunger is seated correctly within the cylinder. Lubricate moving parts if necessary (avoiding the grease passage itself).
