Lock 'n Lube

I bought a LnL. Mailed it to my TBN buddy "Murph". He mailed me back a Walmart gift card that I used to buy some Beer. I assume we're both happy cause he ain't mailed it back.

Did you save the beer for him after you filtered it through your body?

I like the Univer brand of lock on fitting much better but it is harder to find. It is the same size as a normal grease gun tip so it can get into those tight spots that the LnL cant.

So I have a complaint about my Lock N Lube. I have a Milwaulkee Electric Greas Gun (LUV IT) and I bought a lock n lube. Well, it didn't fit. Contacted the company, they said return it or swap out the hose because Milwaulkee apparenty made a series of electrics with Metric fittings. So I bought the hose the recommened and it still does not fit. I am now in for about $60 and not pleased. Prolbem is now that becuase of my travels i am out of the return dates so out the cash as well.

Try an auto parts store for an adapter that will convert to NPT.

Nice but they need to hook up with ebay or something. Otherwise they are too hard to get your mitts on and their website wasn't much use. How much did it set you back?

Amazon has it in their listings - more money that Lock-N-Lube and a few bad reviews

Having had both, I'll weigh in. The Univer setup is wayyyyyy simpler. Also leaks less. Drawback is if the zerk is down in a "hole", you may not be able to pull the locking collar to release it. But then, LnL is worthless for hard to access/hidden zerks. Plus side is it's more compact, less likely to fail. If I were buying one, it would be the Univer.

But then,,,,, that's from a guy that has little use for either. If you can't operate a regular grease zerk coupler, you might reconsider owning equipment that requires greasing.
