Well, it's almost time to draw the winner. We had 308 total entries. Several entries were excluded for not having 50 posts (hey, rules are rules and a month was plenty of time to get 50 posts). Mrs. Conductor, Conductor Jr., and myself, are folding all these entires right now and should have the drawing posted in the next couple of hours.

Stay tuned and good luck to everyone!

308 entries means I have zero chance of winning. I wouldn't win if there were only two entries. Someone is about to be VERY happy, though. :D

Thanks for doing this contest, Conductor562.

Got it Wednesday last week. Finally gave it a spin this weekend on a simple tire rotation job.

This thing has some balls. Even my small 21 gallon Husky compressor had no problems supplying it. Very impressed with it.

Not trying to thread jack but it seems like no one knows the answer... do you know if there's a special needle for a grease gun to inject grease? I borrowed a Co workers mini gun and the grease would just refuse to go in the ball valve.. tried another Co workers and same thing... either my impact gun is refusing to accept grease (defective grease valve) or I'm using the wrong tips on the grease guns...

Takes a "special" grease gun. If it's like other air tools that have a grease fitting, it'll use a tool similar to this:

There are other suppliers, but this was an easy example.

That's the one I used.. I tried from IR, SO, Matco, and now waiting for the Mac guy to restock on his... when I inject it, the grease just pushes out around the sides of the needle, not going in.. defective valve?

I wouldn't expect the grease cavity to be well-sealed; so it's probably not "full" and not accepting more. (Well, I don't know for sure. If the grease cavity were well-sealed, you'd never have to add more--right? Why put a grease fitting on a sealed cavity?) What does the tool documentation say about greasing?

Defective valve seems the most likely.



P.S., this is why I tend to buy oil-lubricated air tools. The oil is sealed-in; I drain and replace the oil through the pipe plug maybe every year. Less than that now that I don't use them professionally.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried pushing soft on the grease gun to the valve and it pushed the grease out the sides of the needle. Pushed hard and did the same thing. What I was also wondering is if I'm using the wrong needle? As I said, the ones I used seemed to have the same needle... I am waiting for the Mac guy's cause he claims that his mini grease gun comes with 4 tips/needles as a kit.. and funny, the manual doesn't say anything about greasing. Gave Proto a call and the lady on the phone was clueless. I asked for the repair department (they should be the ones to know, right?) And she gave me the phone number to them which was a non existing number :headscrat
