Lock 'n Lube

[TomSeller]

One of the grease gun threads here on TBN suggested an old sock over the grease gun to keep it and your hands cleaner which is a great idea. Change your sock from time to time and you are good to go.

I've gone to wearing a pair of Nitrile exam gloves. Kind of slick - but when finished it all comes off with the gloves.

However, I DO like the sock idea - save the greasy ones until I get a pair - put them on my feet - lubes my 'ol dry feet and my boots from the inside - all at the same time.

I tried one, liked it so much that I bough one for the electric gun. :thumbsup:

For anyone that really wants to maximize their greasing tool inventory there was another thread discussing an alternative.

This guy is an alternative to the LockNLube. Works amazingly well. I got it at a local retailer but its available either Amazon or EBay also.

Ditto, you can buy 100 pairs for $10 on Amazon. Also great for painting.

Greasing my tractor always presents challenges - having only two hands is one, difficult to access zerks is another, and making a mess is yet another. I used the lock n lube for the first time yesterday and love it. I hesitated getting it because of the price, but I see that it is going to be worth every penny in the time I will save and the messes I will avoid. I likely spent as much on other grease gun accessories in the past few years trying to find the best way to get er done - and have broken some zerks in the process. I am a very satisfied user.

I did the same wondering how good could it be, I mean greasing ain't that hard. But I finally broke down and bought one. Then it sat around. As I was fighting with a PTO U joint zerk I decided to try it. Now I'm kicking myself for not trying earlier. Best thing ever for a grease gun.

Thanks for the nice review. Have you thought of warming the grease up so it would flow easier? Maybe put a magnetic block heater on the side to liquify the grease, let the bubbles out, then let it cool down.

The grease flows in winter. The G-Gun was brand new at the time and what you saw was literally the first time I tried to use it. The first couple of greasing there were some air pockets, but it has been wonderful ever since.

Somehow I think I can live without a $300 grease gun.

You can live without a lot of things like tractors and the Internet for example but I found life much easier with a cordless grease gun and my tractor. My grease gun didn't cost $300 but close to it. Add the LockNLube and you're there.
