I liked the impact bit one he did. Makes me appreciate buying better made bits.It's a great channel. Mildly biased at the start a lot but then let's the results speak. I liked the utility blade one!

I still have my Snap-On grease gun from 20 years ago... Works great but I'd bet a regular gun from HF would work just fine. I'm pretty sure I bought a lot of overpriced Snap-On and Mac crap in my early 20s. Damn tool truck guys make it REAL easy to get that weekly revolving account up and running.
Still doesn't leak though, so I guess there's that.
Red and Tacky is a hi temp wheel bearing grease so it works in ujoints as well.I get using the red n tacky for things that don't move fast (steering, ball joints) but what is everyone putting in their drive shaft u-joints?
If you go with the green just know that it is polyurea base thickener so you want to start clean if you can.I just recently bought a LockNLube LNL153 and like it a lot. Their green pistol grip style. It just feels hefty and better quality than the cheap one I’ve had for several years that I bought at one of the parts stores.
Trying to decide between the Red N Tacky or the X-tra Heavy Duty Lucas greases now.
What does that mean? It's not compatible with other greases? What would be the consequences if used where the existing grease is unknown?If you go with the green just know that it is polyurea base thickener so you want to start clean if you can.
The short answer is that grease is a base oil, additives and a thickener. When you hear that a grease is Lithium, Polyurea, Calcium Sulfonate etc that is referring to the thickener. In the days of old when there was Sodium thickened grease if you mixed it would react negatively with lithium based grease so you always made sure not to mix. Most greases today do not have serious negative consequences when mixed but they can cause a reduction of the greases performance characteristics so it is best to start with clean parts when you change to a different grease type. I have found this is especially true with Polyurea and Aluminum complex greases.What does that mean? It's not compatible with other greases? What would be the consequences if used where the existing grease is unknown?
Same here. I've been using it for over a decade as well. It has been great! I asked Project Farm YouTube channel to do a test comparison and he liked the idea. I hope he has it on his channel in the near future. He didn't have it when he compared greases in one of his videos.I've been using Green Grease brand since it was recommended over a decade ago on another forum for my '91 suburban. Does anyone have any opinions on it in here?
Green Grease is actually bluish in color. I wonder if thats what you have.Now you guys have me paranoid. I have a new steering rig ready to go, and the tie rod ends have a small amount of something in them already. A light blue color I think. They're Moog parts. And I have Lucas red & tacky in my grease gun.
I run red n tacky in every grease fitting. never had an issue with whatever used to be in them.Now you guys have me paranoid.
