Here is an update video I did a while after making this video. Check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odlimNiWvbnIZas.html Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for your comparison. I bought and use the locknlube about a year, I operate heavy equipment. I love the hold power. Will buy another if this one ever wears out..

DFF, thanks for the video. I have both grease gun couplers. The LockNLube is bulkier, however the thumb release is much easier to operate than the Unver-Co coupler. I used the Unver-Co coupler on two fittings and when detaching the coupler it pulled off a Zerk fitting. (Holy Schmokes, batman....👀 Easy fix. I cleaned the zerk hole and inserted a new zerk then tightened down. I went to the next zerk and this time tiny ball bearings came out of the Univer-Co Coupler. Never had anything like that happen before. Univer-Co gets a Thumbs-Down on quality. I did not have an issue with the LockNLube coupler at all. I purchased both grease fittings in 2017 and used for numerous lube jobs. I did the most recent tractor lube 11 Mar 2019 when the Univer-Co coupler failed. Enjoyed watching your entire video and like your Kubota skid steer. I like that you keep it inside for cleanliness and out of the elements. Thumbs up on your video 👍.

I have both of them. Prefer the LockNLube over the Univer-Co. If a zerk is plugged, it is difficult to pull the collar to release it. I have had no issues with the LockNLube. I also have a Dewalt 20V Grease Gun. Love it.

Fair play lad that was helpful thanks, from Ireland

Lock n Lube has a model with a longer snout, about 3 1/2". Still the same diameter but the thumb handle is further back .

You just answered my question of these two grease couplers. I have two of those Lincoln grease guns and one is like yours. The low speed doesn't work, only the high. Took it apart and found some loose screws and it worked for a little while. Back to high only.

Lock-N-Lube has a longer coupler now. What worries me about the Univer-co end is when its down in a tight spot and trying to get to the release collar (might have to use a 90 degree pick to grip that collar) I have the lock n lube on one grease gun and a regular old coupler on the other. I leave the old style coupler only finger tight so its easy to remove for changing to the needle tip, etc! Great video and thanks for sharing!

I would recommend the Milwaukee M18 fuel grease gun it is very reliable and easy to maintain if anything happens to it and it puts out more then 10,000 psi and it has a 48 inch hose to reach anything.

I have equipment with deeply recessed zerks. I considered your solution (the U-Co.) but figured it would be stuck way down in there with no way grip it. My solution was to keep my Lock'nLube on the gun, but use the Lumax LX-1434 Silver 14" Extension Adapter to get down in there. I did swap ends of the fittings on the Lumax extender so that the business end was on the straight part. Only 20 toad skins shipped to my door.

My brother and I had a heck of a time greasing only yesterday. It's likely a cheap grease gun, so I'm buying a univer-co fitting Monday in lieu of a new, more expensive grease gun. We'll see what happens. Thanks.

Your fish eye camera makes me feel like I am on drugs.

Lock and lube makes a longer one for those hard to get to greese fittings available on Amazon

My guess is that the low on the grease gun uses a resistor or some other current limiter that burned out when the pressure built up. If you can get to it replace the resistor and you should be good to go. I would replace it with the same resistance but a higher watt resistor. If it uses a little circuit board with a number of items on it it might be harder to upgrade to a higher wattage circuit unless the circuit is simple. You can probably find a direct replacement for it and replace the entire board if it is easier.

for those deep spots just make an extension to clip on to with a regular coupler to get in deep

They make one with a longer shaft

Have a baby Kubota. Lock NLube works fine. 20 bucks or not, no more greasy, bloody knuckles are worth it.

you can get batteries rebuilt at allpac battery i imaging others also great for those batteries you cant find anymore

I watched the whole thing. I see others have pointed out the longer version of the Lock-n-Lube already. I'd shop amazon if I was rich. You can find everything elsewhere and save a lot of money in the process. Amazon, amazon, amazon... Did you ever cut your fingers with the serrations on the Univer-co? I imagine that the rubber gloves didn't offer much protection. Maybe they will just knurl them in future revisions of their product. I don't wear gloves very often at all. Never rubber ones but I might if I'm tasked with cleaning somebody else's toilet. 🤪 Thanks for the video though, I'm going with the Lock-n-Lube.

I paid $30 for a univer co and it worked very very poorly . When I contacted the owner of the company in Canada, he first said he’d replace it and then seemed to simply change his mind and I had to eat it. Couldn’t bring myself to support him by purchasing anothe

Cut the video down to 3 minutes, which is more than enough to get the same info in, and your views will increase dramatically.

Lincoln power luber grease gun I had 2 poor quality, from the start most of the screws were loose & one of the battery's was done wouldn't hold a charge it was junk.

I see that lock and lube has a long reach one available.

How does it do on old cruddy fittings

Hello and thanks for this comparison!I use the Univer-Co and the only problem I have with it is that it won't lock on some zerks. The max diameter for these zerks are 0.1 - 0.2 mm bigger than on the ones where it works. I don't know if it's the diameter or if there is something else in the geometry of the "zerk-head" that is the problem. Can't say it's a big problem, out of the 50-60 zerks I have on my backhoe it is only 2 that gives me problem, and of course these 2 are specially made so I can't change them.The issue about removing the U-Co from the zerk, if it is stuck I use a narrow plier but there is also a special tool from U-Co. It can't be difficult to do one yourself either.Interesting that you are so positive on Lock-N-Lube, to me it did not look reliable.Good Luck

Lincoln makes a kit with several tips. Inside the kit is a Needle grease fitting (rubber tip) with a coupler that fits onto their regular Lincoln fittings. It is sold seperate so no need to spend $90 for kit. Snap it on and press rubber tip into center of check ball in a regular fitting of any size and grease it. I know Its outlasted all my friends that keep buying the next best things like these fittings that do work but truth is they simply don't last long. My needle tip is several yrs old now and the only way I can see it fail is they stop making regular grease fittings. Just saying.

How is the Univer-Co coupler holding up? Is it hard to release on those 2 or 3 fittings that you bought it for?

LockNLube XL is 3.6" long to fit inside U Joints and such... FYI $40.00

What brand and type of your grease gun machine?

can you send a link to the univer-co coupler. Thanks

Try lock n lube XL. 4” Long nozzle

Lock n lube all the way only one i have used that stands up and is easy to use i have put about 200 to 300 tubes through it on the original seal kit and still going univor co is not as quick and handy to run

do you know about the Groz coupler HC/21 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpuGis6lxtbWYYE.html , any feedback on that?

You all ways show the short video

You holding the trigger too long , put a couple squirts at a time. Problem solved

N.

Have both of them. Grease heavy equipment every day. And both are useless. Don’t work in tight places and both leak grease every where. Save your money
