Issue: Repeatedly bending the tip of the hose to inject grease into narrow spaces can cause a hole to form near the tip of the hose, potentially leading to grease spraying out. It can cause a potential hazard to fingers and hands if users work without protective equipment.
At least 5 incidents have been reported overseas, not in New Zealand.
