Grease Gun Couplers

Moonlite37 · Mar 16, 2018

Seems kike in the past few years I have had more trouble with grease gun couplers than I had in all previous years. It seems that any of them leak or fit the fitting so tightly it is hard to remove. The one I broke off is hard to get. I think I may have to go to Kioti dealer for some fittings, They look almost like 1/8 pipe thread but the hex fits a 10 mm socket wrench. Can I gat good quality couplers?

I am with you 100%. I bought a new holland pistol grip grease gun that was so hard to squeeze you had to use both hands. I changed the coupler and it works great. I go thru about a half dozen couplers a year. Did not use to have to replace like that twenty years ago. The land of almost right I suppose. Nathan

Probably are metric. A lot of our construction equipment at work has metric grease zerks. Some style zerks have a larger opening in the threaded part for the grease to travel through. Those seem to work best with out getting plugged as easy. Our company buys them from Pel who is our nuts,bolts and hardware distributor but I believe they are a local company. I have had good luck with Napa zerks on our farm stuff. Hope this helps.

Sorry I thought you were talking about zerks, not the grease gun tip. My bad.

You're talking about the grease gun end, not the zerk on the machine, correct? Lincoln seems to be junk. I think it's "Plews" that works better. The best one I have came on a Milwaukee battery grease gun. I should get a hold of them, but I never get "round tuit".

I use something like this

works good

I second the LockNLube coupler. A little pricy but has worked great for me.

This one is pretty good.

Something is wrong these days. Possibly the zerk tolerances are bad.

Had good luck with the case and John Deere ones . Cheap grease zerks aren?t any good the grease gun couplers won?t fit on them right and grease goes everywhere but where you want it

Lock-n-lube is the ONLY answer. I saved enough in grease and frustration to pay for it in the first hay season. If you can?t get a fitting to take grease with it, it?s time to replace the Zerk, or dig the old hard grease out of the hole, or check to see if there is any bearing left to grease.

On my new Willson grain trailer the first time to greese the
slacks. It had a coating of silicon on the fittings. There still
clean and shiny I put it back on works good

There are two models of Milwaukee grease gun. The cheap one is the 12 volt model. The best is the 18 volt. We have the 18 at work. You have a Hi and Low setting. Also have a dial to preset how many pumps it will pump when you pull the trigger. On Ebay not your local super store, they cost over $175.oo. Your local place would need to order it in and would cost well over $200.oo big ones. They work great.

"LOCKNLUBE" works.

A while back I got really frustrated with couplers and asked "Doesn't anyone make a decent coupler?". Someone told me about Lock 'N Lube. That was 5 years ago. Stop the suffering, just get one. The only way to make greasing easier than Lock 'N Lube is to have someone else do it.
