Made in America! Works as described.

I have a Zerk that is very difficult to reach. So I bought this clutch. I unscrew my grease gun with no problems. He glided through hard-to-reach places just as easily. Country of origin: United States.

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • A few minuses

It just didn't work for me

Connects great with my grease gun hose, connects great with Zerk fittings. The problem is that the grease got everywhere except for the Zerk's fittings. I've even tried it on Zerks that didn't require a 90 degree clutch and still had grease everywhere except the Zerk fitting. I had high hopes but I just have to look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Some issues

Great tool, makes the hard work easier!

Bought this fitting for two sealed RV fittings. I tried it as soon as I received it. Aside from a small difficulty with the first customization (I'm sure it was entirely due to the user...me), this tool works great! Too bad I didn't figure this out much sooner, it would have been a lot easier. I highly recommend this item as it makes difficult jobs very easy!

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Problem

Does the job, but it's not pretty.

Working. But it's not nice! Bought to make lower ball joints on my 96 foot Ford Explorer Sport. Instead, the fittings only had to be mounted at a 90ยฐ angle. As said, this will get the job done, but it will be almost impossible to get it clean, especially in tight spaces. Be prepared to shell out a lot of lube for this, even if the fitting fits perfectly into that tip. Too bad, but in a pinch it works!

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Nothing

Great idea, bad implementation.

Like many things we buy and make in other countries, this is a good idea badly executed. Put a small amount of grease on the mirror mount and the rest on the ball joint I was trying to lubricate. Another thing is that if there is grease left over from the previous grease, it will penetrate deep into this clutch and resist removal. It's cheaply made and I regret this purchase.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Some shortcomings

Great for tools and gear

I have several grease fittings on my ATV that I can't access. It was the answer. TIP: You will need a flexible hose (Ace Hardware and others), screw it on by hand until it stops, then unscrew it a quarter turn. Use the loose fitting on the hose to slide the fitting on and position the grease gun in a convenient position. It fits very tightly to the faucet. If the grease leaks around the coupling and not into the fitting, it will not be fully applied to the fitting. Remember to wipe down theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Featured
Cons
  • Some bugs

Awesome bottle neck grease gun adapter

I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer. There are two grease fittings that are almost impossible to reach with standard or even flexible grease guns. I even noticed when I took it out to change the oil that those fittings were never filled. I know that over time I will see a very high repair bill, so I looked at other options. I came across the Thexton Righ Angel Adapter. This was great, not only for the two fittings I couldn't reach, but also for a few others that I had to work on with the standardโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Vanish

Interference Eliminator

This square shaped grease fitting solves many tie rod lubrication problems on any car or truck. I repair cars and trucks for a living and when I saw this tool I knew I was it needed. If you don't have this tool, you'll have to bend the grease gun hose almost 90 degrees from time to time. This shortens the life of the hose. You cannot bend the hose with this tool. Some GM trucks have multiple greasing points on the steering wheel that are difficult to access. With this tool you can lubricateโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Conventional greases are designed for conv. Couplings

The traditional grease fittings I have found do not all have the same design in the grease ball. The diameter is standard, so a standard coupling will suffice. But mirrors can vary in size from tip to shaft. When I tried to use this clutch on my Chevy Astro it got up to most of the zerks and squirted grease into them, but some of the zerks were loose and couldn't seal well enough to keep the grease from escaping all over the zerk . This coupling was designed so that the tip to stem is alwaysโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Updates available
