Review on 🔧 Lisle 34550 Handy Packer Bearing: Simplify Your Bearing Maintenance! by Christopher Ruth

I would buy again. It is a robust device that accepts a wide range of stock widths and thicknesses. I recommend a thorough pre-cleaning of the bearing with petroleum or similar as a final rinse and subsequent drying. This removes the contaminated grease that goes into the clean new grease in the base/roller shell. Pressing new grease into the bearing was easy but a bit slow (and in summer temperatures), but putting a 25# bag of #6 lead shot on top for extra strength helped - I saw a hint of using a vise , but since the packer is plastic it can break without warning if you push too hard, so I wouldn't try that. Using this method it took less than 15 minutes (not including initial cleaning) to repack 4 front bearings and use maybe 2-3 ounces of grease and all that was needed to store the remaining grease was the top to put on the gasket. ready for the next mission without refueling the base. OMT – This base holds a full 16 ounces of lube, so you can get at least that amount.
