LX-1416 Silver 18G 2 1/2" Long Stainless Steel Grease Injector Needle with Cap, Ideal for Lubricating in Very Tight Places Like Sealed Bearings and Universal Joints

Works excellent but be careful pushing on it, I bent the first one after a bit, I ordered 2 more, has many uses.

This needle is used for getting grease in very tight places, and needle bearings it works really well also and many other placesI use Lucas “Red N Tacky” and all my grease guns I also use their aerosol can that shoots grease in the place behind the gear boxes and the solvent dissipates instantly leaving the synthetic grease to do its job and when I found this needle, the needle gives me more direct application and to really tight places you really need one of these if you do anything with gearboxes even small ones this makes life so much easier

It is a needle for squirting grease into small things that don't have fittings.It is not made of unbendium, so if you are having to try to get it into something, do not be surprised if you bend it, a little or a lot. A lot means it won't flow grease, wither un bend it or buy a new one & try again a different way to avoid bending it. They are cheap enough.Also, you may need to hold it onto the end of your grease gun as any movement sideways, just like with a grease fitting, will pop it off the end of the gun & leave a greasy sploodge on whatever you are trying to inject. It happens. deal with it & try again.I have never been given anything for free from Amazon as apparently I am neither a prodigious enough reviewer, purchaser or just not funny enough to be worth anyone wanting to give me anything, so my reviews are as honest as you get....

For some reason I couldn't get this to fight tightly in my grease gun. When I held it firmly in it did work well in getting grease to inject out.

I have a 2001 Honda Accord that's in remarkable shape given its age. It developed a bad squeak in the front end. It was from the driver's side ball joints. The ball joints were tight but noisy and had "boots" on them. I was able to inject grease into the boots using this needle and the noise is totally gone. Easy to do, the most difficult part was jacking the care and removing the wheel for better access. A little time and a little money avoided a very costly repair.

Bought for 2017 Ram 2500 front drive shaft. Lube joint is sealed instead of standard grease fitting so need this type of injector. It's small enough to penetrate the opening but strong enough to not bend. Worked great. Wish I could say the same for the Ram engineers that came up with this design.

We used the needle to grease the upper ball joints on our Tesla model Y. The squeak went away. It’s been three months since I used it and the squeaks have not come back.

Fits perfect into my grease gun. Great for greasing ball joint boots and keeping a nice small hole where dirt won't get in
