lock n lube vs power lube

[masscity]

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
