That company WILL stand behind it's products too. Cost a bit more than the chinese copies but well worth the cost differential if keeping for a long while.

I keep looking at those and thinking about trying one. I think they'd work great, but I keep thinking the places I really want to use them (like u-joints) they won't fit into anyway...

They do work great, wont start leaking only after a couple try's. I keep two guns, one for nearly everything and the one with the junk ends for the tight spots.

They have a plethora of adapters available for most any application.
I got no skin in this game but strongly support any company that goes the distance with their products. This one has with me and I use their couplers daily numerous times.

I have one, haven't tried it yet. It sits in grease gun drawer. Need to put it on. I have an air powered grease gun. I just put a whole (full size) tube of grease in my disc - I guess it'd been too long... A battery powered one is tempting.

When replacing grease gun ends, keep in mind there are those cheaper ends that have 3 joints that grip the alamite - the premium ends have 4 quads that grip. The good lock on ends are great - with the exception of high pressure areas that are hard to get to - then it is hard for this old man to pull the 'trigger' to get the unit uncoupled. Also if anyone has a brand of grease gun that does not eat grease let me know. I can put a tube of grease in - use it one time , and the next time I go to use it, it is empty again ! Surely they are not all like that :-) ... ??

Milwaukee M18 battery powered grease gun is expensive, but worth every penny if you use a grease gun often. They have awesome warranty and service too. Mine gets used heavily at work, and moderately at home… and lasted just over 5 yrs before i had to send it in for refurbishing.

I bought a couple locknlubes when they first came out. Nothing but raves  from me. I could lock the coupler to the upper hinge bearing on the round baler, and hoist myself up by holding onto the hose, and it would still work even after such abuse...

I have a Dewalt greaser that has worked for a couple of years now.The lock n lube ends were a bit short for the combine header grease points but they came out with a longer model.Perfect now.It saves dozens of hand pumps on the hay rake.

My son Ian gave me one 3 years ago in a Christmas present bundle. I kept it in my shop amongst the other cheepos fittings until last summer I tried it. Why did I wait so long???😢
