Selected User Reviews For LockNLube Seal Kit
Lock and Lube is hands down the best grease coupler on the market if you work on and grease heavy equipment. The couplers leak all over when you have to pry them off a zero. I have 2 lock and lube couplers that have been leaking for a couple of years, and they only need to be rebuilt if they leak while locked on zero. It takes about 35 minutes to grease about 35 machines each day, and they get abused, but they continue to work. It is the best kind I have tried, and none have come close to how well they work. I would appreciate it greatly if someone was to make a tool that really helps get rid of the sticks of grease from joints that won't take it.
Two of these Lock and Lube tips failed in the same way with fittings that wouldn't take grease, so we bought two more. Due to no way to release the pressure, these jaws get bent and pull the tip out of the zert fitting. It has to be fixed again for another $10! On the farm, we have switched over to a far better tip on a number of grease guns, including two battery operated guns. I would not recommend them, even if I could afford them.
This tool operates well as long as the zerk is clean or well maintained, but if you hook up to a bad or dirty zerk, the seal in the lock and lube tool easily gets damaged and never seals a zerk. There is only one tip included in the rebuild kit for ten dollars. The money spent should have led to about five items in the package. My overall impression of it has been good after using one for a few years. One other problem I see with it is that it can be difficult or impossible to use in tight spaces such as ujoints or grease points recessed behind body panels with small access openings.
Once upon a time, these were durable and dependable. That's not so much the case They last a long time when they first come out. These 3 I keep on hand because they wear out fast. Maybe they are made in China, just like so many other things we buy.
In this simple kit, you will find all of the components that are normally found in any wearable It is time to replace all worn parts of your lock and lube in order for them to perform like new. This is a good product and a good kit for repairing it.
As a result of using this kit, my old L&R was repaired I used a L grease tip, which worked great and cost about 1/3 of what a new one would have.
I have not installed it yet, however it seems to be of good quality.
