It's a brand new mini grease gun. Need to remove a slot screw to
attach a flexible hose. It won't budge. I don't have access to heat
or a vise. Any solutions? Thanks


Did you try a screwdriver that actually fits the slot? Or some little
bent, chipped, twisted, rusty thing that you inherited from my father?
Once you have the right driver, put an open-end or adjustable wrench on
the handle (or on the shaft if it's square) for increased torque.


If it has a hex head shape use a nut driver.
