I am NOT a skilled mechanic. I am 71 years old and what little I know about mechanics I figured out on my own or got help from buddies (in the old days) or found a solution on Google or You Tube (now a days).This was my problem: I recently bought a Texas Pride 16,000 GVWR 22' + 2' lowboy trailer with tandem axles and drive over fenders. It was time to add a little grease to 6 fittings. Everything went well on the first 5 fittings. I could not pump any grease into the last fitting (of course).I have been tinkering with stuff for a long time and I know how to use a grease gun. But I have never had a fitting to not accept grease. I removed the fitting (remember this is a brand new trailer) and cleaned it up. The fitting was deformed. That made me wonder if this spot had been greased at the factory. (Turns out it had not.). Anyway, simple fix. Off to the auto parts store to purchase my zerks.Got home, installed a new fitting and NOTHING. So I removed the fitting and put in another new one. Still nothing. I put a fitting on the grease gun and it took grease (as long as the fitting wasn't screwed into the trailer. So grease was definitely able to pass from the grease gun through the zerk.Time to check out You Tube. I found a video about the Original Grease Buster. I read reviews, compare it to knock-offs and thought this thing couldn't possible work in my situation.Well, I didn't have anything to lose thanks to Amazon's free returns. I received the Original Grease Buster the next day. I followed the instructions in the video and on the packaging. Less than 15 minutes after I received the Original Grease Buster the axle hanger was fully greased and the trailer was ready for the road.Final thoughts If you work on anything that has grease fittings you need to buy an Original Grease Buster and drop it in your toolbox now because it might not take you 71 years to run up against a fitting that won't take the grease. I know the dang thing is pricey. But IT WORKS.

I just ordered a replacement b/c while setting it onto the zerk fitting, the plunger popped outand went down into the water.I had attached a safety cord to the cannister and also one onto the small hammer I used, but the plunger got no safety cord. (You can't foresee everything).I emailed Lock n Lube and asked if I could purchase just a replacement plunger. I did receive a response,but was turned down & no replacement offer, just "buy another."The tool works well with Kroil. At $70 though, a replacement plunger would have made me a happier customer. Lock n Lube is an innovative tool and sturdy, but beware, no parts of it float..

Had mixed results based on different circumstances. If your grease joints are seized solid this won’t perform a miracle but if it’s just gummed up this will work just fine. Build quality is very nice. Great tool to have on hand. If I had this before the one bad joint it didn’t work on would have been addressed years ago and been fine. This will keep you ahead of the game

Great tool to free up grease fittings. Easy to use and fill with favorite penetrating oil. Very solidly built. Price is a little high though.

So I bought this a while ago and honestly haven’t had to use it. Finally got to use it the other day On a grease CERT That just wouldn’t take grease. Just putting a couple of taps on the end, clean the grease right out. I would highly recommend it

I was skeptical that this would work and was hesitant because of the cost. I have a grease fitting greasing a brass bushing that I have not been able to get grease into for a very long time. Nothing I did would clear the hardened grease out of the way for fresh grease to enter. I used this a directed and in less than one minute I had the hole cleared so grease would enter. It is kind of spendy for what you get but it saved me having to tear a piece of equipment apart so it actually did save me time and money. I would definitely recommend this.

I have watched soooo many You Tube Videos, of people, using this tool to punch out grease Zerks/Nipples while still attached to the blocked fitting on their tractors or other heavy type equipment. WRONG!!!I see this tool only being useful, if and only if, I do not have a new Zerk/ Nipple, to replace the "Supposedly" blocked one. And then I will remove the Zerk/Nipple from the unit and hold it in a vice and then use this tool to test for a blockage and if required, clean the Zerk/Nipple. I will also disassemble and clean the whole joint and pin. Which only takes around 10 minutes. This eliminates any issues with proper lubrication and fixes, why, the grease wasn't flowing freely through the Zerk/Nipple , in the first place.As a side note; I have found many times, that the position of the particular joint, may have weight on the internal pin, that is blocking the outlet hole in the pin and stopping the grease from flowing. If you move your loader assembly a bit, it will usually free up the hole in the pin and allow the grease to flow.Always Proper and Complete MaintenanceJust my personal opinion.

Read the directions, watch videos (u tube) . Needs penetrating oil. I used on 2 very stubborn zerks smaller taps with a hammer and they were cleared. Would recommend

Best product for clogged zerks. Slow and steady wins the race but super effective.
