Review: smallest locking grease coupler - After tired replacing my grease gun coupler many times with generic non-locking grease couplers (the claws eventually got loose after so many cartridges), I decided to get a locking one, and I knew I want the smallest I could get because of tight space, this coupler works perfectly for my job. Many people who don't know how to use it gave bad reviews, well that's understandable because: Need to loosen it up first - When still new, the coupler is very stiff and can 'bind' to your grease fitting unable to release even after I tried the tips from someone below, after some 'percussion maintenance' and swinged it back and forth, the coupler started to loose up. After it has loosen up, the operation is very smooth, I'm now able to release it every time. I suggest you do this first with a grease fitting that has lots of space and easy to reach, you only need to do it once. I think it's because it has complex locking mechanism unlike locking coupler from other brands. Another quirk is, the orange o-ring I think is only for indicator, it detached easily, useless, I don't bother to put it back, they should just omit the o-ring and use laser engraving instead. Review: So far, so great! - I manage an environmental business. I also happen to be the resident diesel mechanic and maintenance tech. Twice a week I grease: 3 track hoes, a skid steer, a Komptech industrial grinder, 3 dump trucks, and 2 30,000 lbs tri-axle trailers. I've only put a few tubes of grease with this coupler... since I just got it two days ago. This thing is awesome! I had been using a Lu-Max. It was decent, but would leak if you let go of it. The MacNaught takes a little getting used to. Sometimes I have to "double clutch" it. But, it locks on very snug, and hasn't leaked once. Yet, anyway. But, all the other locking coupler I used will leak some... right out of the box. I love the thing. And it's very well built. All metal construction. And even though the Lu-Max would fit every recess that I have tried... the MacNaught is even thinner, so I can't imagine that I'll find a zirk that I can't access. Time will tell about durability. But it does havea 2 year warranty. I highly recommend. ## Features - Macnaught’s Patented Release Mechanism Delivers Enhanced Safety and is Both Easier and Faster To Use.

First one I pressed on to a driveshaft zerk and would not come off. It would not release because the mechanism was busted. I was desperate to find a narrow, easy to attach/release grease fitting so took a chance and bought another one thinking maybe I was just unlucky. Nope. 2nd new McNaught unit, out of the box, pulling on the catch and release action handle did nothing. It, too, was defective. A complete time and money waste. Now I have to chase after Amazon to refund me my expedited shipping per McNaught's customer service. Thanks for nothing! ## Frequently Bought Together - Macnaught KY Plus Locking Safety Grease Coupler - Smallest Diameter Bore on Market - 2 Year Warranty - LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler locks onto Zerk fittings.
