sounds like you should be fine.  it's just a matter of getting the needle/nozzle to stick out far enough.

Mike -
That's the kind I use and it serves me well. I put a 4 inch/10cm pipe nipple on mine then attached Alan's adapter and needle to it. It works like a champ.
Oh, and welcome aboard!!
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Alan and Rob for your replies.  Just about ready to start servicing my own reels now.  I'm a kayak fisherman, so they get wet a lot and need servicing often.

All the pics of Alans bench is just wrong! All I have is a small hammer, Bud Light, a screwdriver and assorted pliers.
Sure is fun and relaxing though!

Do you use the torque settings on the cordless screwdriver?  All I can get around here is a Craftsman with 27 in.lbs. but no clutch.

I just stumbled across this.
Ozito Cordless Screw driver SDR-036.

6 settings on the clutch, reversable, led light to the tip.
and, at the press of a button it converts from the handle at 90 degrees to the drive head to 180 degrees.

and..... a 3 Year replacement warranty all for the grand price of, would you believe a smidgeon under $30.00 AUS

Sure beats using an 18 volt battery drill.

Found these diamond grinding bits at Harbor freight today for $7.99 and looks like a full selection for mods.

maybe you can add this one, a ball hammer. i use this hammer to reshape belleville washers. also various sizes of socket wrenches.

I went to two Home Depots, Ace Hardware, and Harborfreight, none had this gun with the nozzle, pointing out, they were all pointing up.  HD sold one made by lucas oil.   I went to harbor freight, and found this gun, but it is a big 14Oz. capacity gun, might  be a little clumsy.  Anyone no where to get a small Plews gun like below at a brick n mortar store?  HD online has them, but they are not the same as Alan's.
