Review - LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler

[rekees4300]

Ordered one from Amazon today. If it works will be worth the price.

I think I got a bad one. Two were ordered, one from Amazon and one from the actual company. The price was the same for both.

Anyway, one of them works great. The other one slips off of the Zerk almost every time. The locking lever has to be held up (open) to get enough bite to hold the fitting on the Zerk. Even then, the pressure will "blow" it off the Zerk.

I do use air powered Lincoln grease guns but that shouldn't make a difference.

At that price, I'm going to have to do something.

Which one was faulty the one from Amazon or from the company. I haven't got one yet but was thinking of getting one from the company I would think they would make it good at that price,let us know how you make out. Thanks W.C.

The problem is that I'm not sure which coupler is which. It shouldn't matter since they both come from the same place - the OEM manufacturer.

Their website states "money back guarantee" but I don't want my money back. I just want a product that works like my other one does.

If trying what k0ua suggested doesn't work, I'll just clean it up and send it to them with a request to replace it with a working device - not my money back. If they are an upfront company it should not be an issue.

I had the same problem as yours and fixed it by doing what k0ua describes. The LnL has not slipped off since. Let us know how it works out for you.

Oh Wow!! After I bought (from the lock-n-lube company -- through Amazon) and posted my hopeful good fortune; now all the troubles and supposed fixes come to light. Isn't that just like my luck. I will continue to have faith in my TBN people and know that I will receive a workable tool; and if it's problematic -- you will all gladly offer me a fix-it-suggestion! At no charge, of course!! Ha!

If they value their business, they will eagerly accept your defective unit & replace it with a good one. Good companies do this so they can figure out what went wrong, either in their design or manufacturing and correct it as quickly as they can, before they get a reputation for hit or miss quality. Good luck and let us know how you make out!

I bought one a few months ago and agree it works like everyone says. I have a zerk on my ZTR that is an absolute bear to get to and get greased. Still was hard to get on the zerk but once I did all the grease went in and no leak at all. Just this zerk alone was worth the money because replacing the spindle on this commercial mower would be much more costly than the coupler. I have always been worried how much grease I was actually getting into the bearings because so much would leak out. So much easier to grease everything now and never leaks at all.

Thanks for the reference. I'm currently knee-deep in tractor projects. It will be time for greasing three tractors in a few days. I'll try out the suggestions in this thread. If they don't work I'll make that call.

Much appreciated.

That's the attitude of a good company. Unfortunately, some companies have lost track of who they depend on for their continued existence (see the thread on vehicle recalls on the trailers and transportation page)...
