How does a grease nipple work?

The grease nipple is screwed onto a moving part of a product that requires greasing to keep it moving smoothly. A grease gun is used to force lubricant into the housing under pressure. Once the grease gun is removed, a small ball seals the opening preventing the lubricant from leaking out and dirt from entering.

Rob Snel fits flush grease nipples in the outer bush of door toggles and in the hinge shaft of hinges.
