I've never liked greasing equipment, and it's mostly because of the problems associated with the traditional grease guns. Anytime you have to change the cartridges it's always a tremendously messy job. You have to pull a plunger with a heavy spring back and click it into the open position, hoping it doesn't come loose and mash a finger then you unscrew both ends and try to fish out the nasty empty paper grease tube. Then load up a new one and release the plunger hoping to get any air bubbles out of the system, then screw it back together, and finish greasing. Then, you hang it on a wall and it oozes grease for two months, making a nice slick spot on the floor. It's not the best design.

I was contacted last summer by a company who is bringing a new innovation in grease guns to the U.S. market and they wanted me to evaluate it. It's called the Lube Shuttle, and the cartridges screw in, there's no plunger. When I opened the one they sent me, I thought, "If this works well, this is a game changer for greasing equipment." I used it all last summer and over the winter and I will NEVER go back to a traditional grease gun. Lube Shuttle has won me over.

The Lube Shuttle system comes from Germany. The plunger pressure on the pistol grip is 4300 lbs, (the Lever Lube Shuttle has 5800 lbs) so it will draw the grease out of the threaded tube and put it exactly where it needs to go. When the tube is empty (and there's not a mass of wasted grease like in the paper canisters), unscrew the old tube and recycle it (yes, it is recyclable), push a little grease out the top of the new tube with the plunger on the bottom and screw it in and your ready to grease again. No mess and no hassle.

The company that's bringing Lube Shuttle to the U.S. has employed me to find dealers. If you're an equipment dealer, or know a dealer you'd like to see handle this product, have them get in touch with me at mike@asktractormike.com. If you want the product before the dealer network is in place, Lube Shuttle, and replacement grease cartridges are available on my website at [ Ссылка ], on the "Shopping" page and I'd love to have your business! Lube Shuttle is a great gift idea for anyone who uses a lot of grease.
