LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler

Do these actually work? I sure have hard time getting off/on grease fittings

 

[scooby074]

Yes they work great. Only issue is deep or shrouded zerks, its a bit fatter than a normal coupler

Happy user here too.

I'm quite happy with mine. At work we have the deep one that fits recessed zerks.

they are fantastic for automotive zerks, just get it

Works great for this one hander.

Yes the LnL works. A regular grease hose can be loosened or tightened on the zerk by turning the end of the hose fitting.

 

[GirlnAgarage]

Get the swivel too. Worth it.

 

[Snapped-off]

They work really well, obviously some spots you may have trouble getting to with the extra bulk. But changing out the zerk for different angle can sometimes solve that issue.

Love mine. Have one of their grease guns too and I like it as well.

It's works okay. It can get clogged with junk easier than a normal nozzle. The additional bulk means driveshaft joints can be impossible, as well as lower profile zerks.

I have the regular length one and the long one. Long one works fine on u-joints on my truck and farm equipment. I bought the long one several years ago (~5 years) and just rebuilt it this past fall. Extremely handy on an electric grease gun and don't waste as much grease.

This brand works great - the other brands are terrible

Very happy with my lock n lube Gun

I opened this thinking " Lock Lube" as in locksmith lube ... not Lock N Lube grease gun

Me too . . .

Mine works great as well. For zerks that it's too long to reach, you can buy the 90 degree adapter, but it's kind of iffy in performance.

I've had some trouble greasing our JD 110 tlb; some of the zerks are pretty shrouded. I'll need to give it another chance after I've cleaned and inspected it; I had issues w/ it leaking.

 

[danielbuck]

I think with any grease gun, it helps to clean them off before putting the grease gun to them, even if it's just a paper towel and wiping off most of the crud. That's also a way to keep less dirt getting forced through the zerk into the joint.

There are a couple videos linked in the LockNLube "Hot Deals" thread.

If my memory serves me correctly, they've got some sort of promo running currently... not sure.... hopefully they'll weigh in here in the morning.

It's nice to have around but I wouldn't use it as my only grease gun. They don't fit in a LOT of areas because not only are they thick & bulky bit 2-3 times as long as a regular end.

They are great for having around on an electric gun for hard to grease zerks that need more pressure and saves you from having to use a zerk cleaner.

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

They are awesome and worth every penny.

Obviously they won't fit everywhere, but still worth it.

To avoid having two grease guns, you can make an adapter with a length of hose fed by a grease ****** and has a regular coupler on the end. Clip it in your lock-n-lube and you're back to a regular coupler.

I have a needle and rubber tip adapter each with a zerk in the back like this. No hose. Grease hoses are surprisingly dangerous if you hold it under pressure, and with the needle and cone tips you need to be holding them to use them, so no hoses on those for me, but otherwise it's a great idea.
