lock n lube vs power lube

[rooster1980]

has anyone owned both brands ( lock n lube and power lube ) im fixing to buy one and was wandering which one worked the best. ive been looking at the lock n lube online and they seem like good quality, they have some nice grease guns also. i was also looking at the lock n flate they have for airing up tires. Do they work good, do they lock on.

I have the lock and lube and the lock inflate, both are awesome. Highly recommend

You can't go wrong with lock and Lube I can tell you that much.

We have 2 lock & lubes and a 10.00 chinese one we bought on Ebay.
They all work the same for me so far.

The internet shows power lube is a spray on product from crc.

Not sure wtf you are comparing to lock n lube for.

I don't have either of those brands but something to look for is which way unlocks the jaws.

I have an Alemlube connector where the jaws stay fixed and an outer sheath slides away from the zerk to unlock. It is an amazing connector that goes onto everything and is super useful.

Work has MacNaught (IIRC) where the outer sheath is fixed and the jaws slide away from the zerk to unlock. It is useless and can't get on any zerk that is flat or recessed and we all hate them. The two grease guns with those connectors don't get used and we just use the gun with a normal grease connector.

I've had my LNL for over 10 years now. When it breaks I'll consider trying another brand but I really have no issues with LNL - by far the best greaser fitting I've owned so far. Stays on, no leaks, no mess.

Both of the lock and Lubes that I bought both came with rebuild kits as well don't forget that

I put my LNL on my DeWalt battery powered grease gun. It's an awesome combination.

Only one slight problem. A few of the grease zerks on my Kubota FEL are set in round recesses. LNL is too large to fit into these recesses. I use my Lincoln manual pump greaser for these few zerks.

Had the same problem. Ended up with a manual locking AZuno G8 for the grease gun instead. Fits all the zerks, recessed or not.

I've had two Lock and Lubes and had problems with both. I've been greasing equipment since I was 12 years old, but the LNL gives me grief. Looking to buy a different brand.

I made up an adapter using a skinny old school coupler and added a 45 degree zerk on the other end to get into tight spaces. Nice part about LNL is it will hold the adapter for me and not leak.

This. I won't talk down any other type, but I will say out of all the grease guns and fittings I've used, Lock N Lube is the easiest and most convenient.

I've been nothing but impressed.

I have a Kubota mx and a Ferris lawn mower and there is no recess my lnl can't reach. I use one at work too. Never a problem.

Some of y'all must have some small equipment.

Feel sorry for their women.

My LS loader has recessed fittings and the Lock n Lube doesn't fit into some of them. It's so close that it fits in some and not others. I got a Macnaught KY PLus and while it does fit into those openings, it's a bit finicky about releasing. I wish the LNL would fit into those fittings as it's otherwise great.

Better than needing to use a toy...

I have a LNL connected to an Alemite grease gun. Works quite well.

​

Not sure what your openings look like, but I drilled out a couple of the openings around some of my recessed zerks to make the openings big enough to accept my Lock-N-Lube fitting.

The L&L I bought is sitting on my work bench. It's either to large to fit recessed fittings or it choses to not stay connected. I'm guessing my equipment is bigger than yours.
