Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are 7 grease gun accessory fittings:
1. Press-on 90 degree (the right angle fitting)
2. Straight extension (no coupler)
3. 12 inch hose extension with coupler
4. Slide-on 90 degree coupler (there is a cut in the side of the coupler) (see the Thexton 418 Right Angle Grease Coupler to see what this looks like)
5. Rubber tipped nozzle (no coupler)
6. Needle nozzle (no coupler)
7. 360 coupler (the dogleg looking fitting)
First, the large diameter end is a pull-down sleeve (dunno the technical term) where a 'fake' zerk fitting (grease fitting) couples to your existing grease gun coupler (these are all add-ons to the existing pipe-coupler)
Second, the couplers are composed of 4 small loose 'petals' around a core with a washer and spring. If you unscrew the coupler, these all come apart and you'd have to be Houdini to get it back together (the std grease coupler is a fixed screw on-screw off unit).
Third, if you think you could rectify this by simply putting a std coupler on, you'd be out of luck. The thread diameter is different.
Therefore, my rating is this is not a product. Somebody had to work hard to create a non-standard, non-interchangeable solution.
I'd buy the LIncoln set, but it looks identical to this unit in the photo. Need more research.
