That's an interesting tool. I have a similar tool that is meant to be filled with oil or kerosene and you place it on the zerk fitting and you tap it with a hammer. The force from the hammer drives the oil into the zerk and blows out whatever is plugging it up. It works well and is good for old car and truck suspension fittings that have been clogged with rust and dirt.
