1. An improved grease gun head comprising: a cylindrical grease channel situated within a grease gun head, the cylindrical grease channel having a first end and a plurality of openings along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical grease channel and wherein the cylindrical grease channel longitudinally rotates within the grease gun head to a first position and a second position;a check valve operatively coupled to the first end;a grease port operatively coupled to the cylindrical grease channel;a guide tube port operatively coupled to the cylindrical grease channel;a refill grease port operatively coupled to the cylindrical grease channel;wherein spacing between the plurality of openings is such that:when the cylindrical grease channel is rotated to the first position, a first of the plurality of openings is over the grease port and no other opening is over the guide tube port and the refill grease port; andwhen the cylindrical grease channel is rotated to the second position, a second of the plurality of openings is over the guide tube port and a third of the plurality of openings epees is over the refill grease port and no other opening is over the grease port. 2. An improved grease gun head comprising: a cylindrical grease channel situated within a grease gun head the cylindrical grease channel having a first end and one or more openings along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical grease channel;a check valve operatively coupled to the first end;a grease port operatively coupled to the cylindrical grease channel;a refill grease port operatively coupled to the cylindrical grease channel;a guide tube operatively coupled to the refill grease port; anda piston situated within the grease channel,wherein upon a refilling operation, the piston draws back through the cylindrical grease channel over the grease port and the refill grease port; and upon delivery operation the piston only draws back through the cylindrical grease channel over the grease port.
