Grease gun, extended hose?

[upnover]

OK, Old man here, diminished strength, I've came up with a solution, but, need help with the parts. Here's my problem. I have a battery-operated Dewalt grease gun. So many times, I don't have the strength to hold the gun, and one handed get the gun attached to the grease zerk. When... I have help, it's no issue, someone holds the grease gun, and I get it attached to the zerk, then second person holding the gun, pulls the trigger until I say stop. Problem is, I rarely ever, hardly ever, have that second person. So if my grease hose was longer, I could clamp the grease gun with my small vice on my welding cart, I'd have two hands free to get the hose attached to the zerk. So, my question is, if anyone knows, where could I get a longer hose, to be able to do what I need?? Please, any help would be awesome! Getting one made, would also be helpful if there isn't one premade to work.

Not sure on the extended hose, but would something like a lok n lube coupler help. I have a few of them and they are very handy.

get some1/8 npt couplings and put as many hoses as you want together.

I have several lock n lube couplers, the issue is the strength in my hands, I have to double up on a lot of things that normal would be easy one handed

OK, SO it's as simple as having one made at a hoes shop. I didn't realize it was as simple as 1/8 NPT

Tried two local businesses that make hoses, neither had 1/8" stuff, so Amazon was my friend. I ordered a longer hose and a coupling (came in 2 pack) So for ~$18, I'll be able to do what I need.
