Review on Innovative America 7862 Grease Joint Rejuvenator: Unleash Superior Performance by James Julien

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked like a champ!

Worked like a master! Be sure to use safety goggles. I got a thin spray of penetrating oil on my face. This actually happened after the hammer was made. When I first added lube, pressure built up in the boot and the infiltrated oil was expelled in a very thin stream. The only downside was removing the tool from the grease fitting after hitting it with a hammer. It was difficult to shoot. I followed the guide and disconnected the clutch, but that didn't help. I was finally able to free myself. When the clutch is released, the sealant on the threads is destroyed, so that some oil escapes. However, this is negligible and does not seem to affect the performance of the tool. One thing that worries me is the mixing of this penetrating oil and lubricant. This instrument injects penetrating oil into the joint. The penetrating oil breaks down the hardened grease, which is then (in my case) pushed out of the boot. When I started adding lube, penetrating oil came out of the dust bag. Eventually, as I kept adding lube, the old lube started coming out. Then I stopped. Now that I'm wondering, did this process really remove all of the penetrating oil from the joint? Later I tested a mixture of grease and penetrating oil. The lubricant has dissolved almost to zero. I went back and added more fat to the ankle to see what would happen, although I don't like pumping fat out of the ankle shoe. The leaked grease did not deteriorate in any way.
