"Snuff-Style" Grease Cartridge Dispenser

Snuff-Style Grease Cartridge Dispenser FARM SHOP Maintenance “It’s really handy to use and hardly takes up any space in my shop ” says Art Hertz Fairfax S Dak who recently sent FARM SHOW photos of the homemade grease cartridge dispenser he made out of a long piece of 2 1/2-in dia pvc pipe “It’s based on the same idea used in stores to hold cans of chewing tobacco You pull a cartridge out of the holder and another one immediately comes down to take its place The pipe is long enough to store almost an entire case of cartridges ” The pipe is strapped on between a pair of steel posts that support the ceiling in Hertz’s shop He cut a 1-ft long rectangular slot at the bottom of the pipe Then he glued a plastic cap into the bottom end of the pipe and drilled a hole in the center of the cap just big enough for his finger to fit into it “To remove a cartridge I stick my finger up through the hole and lift the cartridge to pull it out of the slot about 1/4 in The next cartridge immediately drops down in its place ” says Hertz Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Art Hertz 36717 Quarry Rd Fairfax S Dak 57335 ph 605 654-2250; cell 605 830-1001
