Review on πŸ”§ Reese Towpower 58117 Hitch Ball Lubricant for Enhanced SEO by Bryan Murphy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's a throw - use or not use?

I have mixed feelings about the clutch ball lubrication. On the one hand, it lubricates a heavily loaded ball joint that could possibly be heated by friction. On the other hand, grease catches and retains dirt, which can lead to faster wear of the fittings. I use it sparingly on boat clutch parts - both the clutch and the lock. This lube lasts for a while, which is good. This is a white grease that is much "cleaner" than the standard black and gray grease. However, soot/dirt/dust quickly turns white grease black. I use stainless steel clutch balls so I'm not sure if this really extends the life of my clutches or if it's just a trick in my head. Anyway, I bought it and it lives up to expectations and adverts.
