Don't waste your money

I needed a more compact lube for those hard to reach places as my lube didn't fit in some places. All I can say is that this thing is hard to snap on, especially with my locks and lubes, having to pull the tab down and sit on the internal grease gun is harder than it looks, wish it would just be on my grease gun screwed. I ripped 2 in a day, luckily I always have a case handy but it was so frustrating I went out and bought 45 degree Zerks so I could use my lock and lube.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Compatibility

Failed immediately for Garage & Shop

Hardware has proven to be strong and well built. I attached it to my new grease gun to lubricate the new tie rod ends I installed on my truck. On the third use, grease began to flow out of the fitting through all the holes. I removed the elbow fitting, cleaned it and found that one of the three teeth holding the grease fitting was recessed under the fitting cap. I removed the cap, aligned the teeth and replaced the cap. Once again the installation failed the first time. Luckily Revain gave meโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Useless features

Great adapter for a grease gun for working in hard-to-reach places.

Works very well. Provides access to hard-to-reach grease fittings with a standard grease gun. Bought this a little over a year ago and have used it several times on cars and on a garden tractor. I am very happy with it. One problem is that it is very tight on the grease fitting and difficult to remove. I had to use a screwdriver to pry it off. But that's a minor inconvenience. It will probably get easier with use. It comes with a large cap and a small cap that fits over the grease inlet. Iโ€ฆ

It's good if you use it for your parts.

The only part that came in handy was the actual 90 degree part at the end when I took it apart. . So I put it on the gun, pumped some lube in, and it all just popped out from under the spring part and went everywhere. After using a small allen wrench to unlock the mirror, I was able to squeeze a small amount of lube out of the end. . Basically, it's still leaked everywhere. I then took everything apart and just screwed the end 90 degrees directly onto the grease gun hose. After that it wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Buyer beware, you have been warned

Sorry I have to agree with the lower rated reviews. I had to unscrew the top as the coupler it attaches to doesn't work in my grease gun. In addition, the rounded and smooth top that tightens and loosens makes it extremely difficult to operate, especially considering the type of use this tool is intended for (lubrication). I had to use a multitool to draw this thing from scratch. Other than that, I managed it pretty well. It ended up lubricating my tractor but causing a few headaches in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Lumax LX-1404 90 degree grease coupler

real PIA to put the nozzle on and stop. I hated picking up the truck and crawling under it to spend 15 minutes getting to the dash and then taking it off while trying to pump some lube in. So I bought this well made 90 degree coupler and a 3 foot hose. Yes, I still have to jack the truck up and get under it, but the right-angle connector snaps right onto the transom, and the longer hose keeps it from coming loose. Of course, it also works without a long hose. In both cases, greasing the jointโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Don't really like it is ok

I don't understand some of the others Reviews complain that the head is too big, the spring is too tight, difficult to connect and disconnect from Zerks, or it leaks. The device I received worked great with no leaks at all - the head is actually slightly shorter than a standard straight coupler and fitted the space I needed quite snugly. I just snapped my standard straight grease gun coupler onto it, and when I was ready to remove it, the spring compresses slightly to allow the bushing toโ€ฆ
