Review on Enhanced Performance Tool W54219 Needle Nose Grease Gun Adapter by William Lin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works fine for me.: Garage & Shop

It seems to work fine. Fits snugly on my grease gun, doesn't leak at the joint. all-metal construction. Lubricant flows normally. Not exactly sure if it works well with OEM hinges or not, but since they have 180,000 miles on them and are over 15 years old, I decided to give it a try. I used it on my 2002 F150 to rotate the inner and outer tie rod and steering arm. The original hinges have no play or play, squeaks or rattles so I don't think they need to be replaced but I believe they were probably dry all the time and all the miles. This can last them a few more years before they need to be replaced. I've noticed that you shouldn't stuff these boots as full as you did with the mirror fittings. If you fill your original boots until they start to bulge, some lube will come out of the hole you made with the needle. The first thing I did was make it look like half the fat came out (I kept doing this until it started to noticeably bulge). The second was better, it came out just a little, the last ones came out a little as soon as I removed the needle but stopped almost immediately. I see that the prices for these things are very different. I bought this for less than five but now it's almost fifteen bucks.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
