Grease Gun Coupler

    Hello,
    I managed to find a grease gun that I like. It's easy to load, no issues getting it primed. However the coupler is pretty weak. It takes three hands to operate. Two to hold and pump the gun and one to hold the coupler at the correct angle.
    I've seen ads for locking couplers like this.

    Has anyone tried these? I wonder how well they work and if they fit in confined areas as needed to grease a Jeep.

    Definitely a concern.

    I too use the three-handed method...

    Used similar ones years ago working on trucks and such at a service station. Most were good and worked fine at the 'main angles'. Once the lock pins get bent, useless...

    I have a LockNLube, it works great where you can access the zerk fitting straight on. Anything of angle and I think it makes it harder to grease the fitting.

    we tried em at work,they all broke either in the truck bouncing around or they get pulled on whilst locked on and they snapped. your results may vary.

    I have one, I like it, between the excavator and dozer I go through 3 tubes a greasing sometimes. I Have a Milwaukee 18v cordless grease gun I love. I did notice my locknlube not working as well after a while, but I put the re-seal kit (one supplied) in and it works like new again.
