LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler XL opinions?

[SC Maintenance]

Thinking about getting a Lock N Lube - clips on to the grease fitting. I only have a few things to grease but a couple would be helpful to have a free hand. Anyone have one of these and have some feedback? Worth the $42 on scamazon?

Have it, its worth it. The XL might limit certain things you do, but for what I needed it was great.

I bought the $15 knock-off and have no complaints. Only time it has failed is on one of my PITA wet bolts that usually refuses to take grease.

I have one. You will need to watch the alignment of the device. It can be locked on but if it is not aligned with the grease fitting it will leak. Still takes two hands most of the time.

I bought a standard length one for $30. Liked it so much that I bought a second for another gun. Keep in aligned, and no leaks so far. I dig em!

I’ve had the standard one for 12 or so years. It’s a life changer.

The alignment comments have me a bit concerned. One of the reasons I wanted it was one of my u-joints has a very difficult approach angle. Maybe I would be better off with a Pistol grip grease gun so my second hand is free.

Maybe just get both

I have a few of them (no XLs, though). Life changing.

IMO, the best value is to buy one of their kits.

Yes I would recommend a pistol grip style gun.

In case some people don't know it almost every gun fitting is adjustable. I know nothing about the quick fit gizmo.

LocknLube has L fittings, needle adapters, and the such as well, the backhoe on my tractor has some tricky fittings but that solved it.

I have both size tips and one of their pistol grip grease guns as well as their accessory kit. Great product but like others have mentioned, you have to keep the tip centered or it will leak some, but I've run into that on other types of grease guns as well. I like that it locks on to the nipple and doesn't pop off.
