Grease Me Baby
Well Happy Valentine's Day to all of my smooth operators and drivers out there! I hope you're hard work is celebrated today. I also hope you've made a pit stop somewhere besides a gas station to get your honeys at home a card or some flowers!

But let's not forget about your honey on site either! Whether she's a skid, excavator, or dump truck, grease is crucial to heavy equipment, so lube up your lady on-site this Valentine's Day. Start with the right grease, get the right gun, and get to it.
Choose Your Grease
The first source you should turn to when choosing a grease for your equipment and trucks is your owner’s manual or the specs provided by the manufacturer. Do your research but also discuss applications and options with your lube supplier which for us is NAPA Auto Parts. To simplify inventory and prevent greasing mistakes a lot of contractors prefer to spec a single type of grease. For us that type is MAG 1 Lithium Extreme Pressure grease which is always in stock in our shop.
Choose Your Weapon
The temptation when it comes to choosing a Grease Gun is to go with manual to save money but trust me, it's not worth the arm cramping. Make the investment and go with an automatic to get the job done more accurately and much faster. We like the Lincoln PowerLuber Cordless Grease Gun Kit which is the #1 seller at Northern Tool & Equipment where we shoot. The 2 speed transmission managed by motor speed delivers outstanding flow & pressure. DeWalt and Milwaukee also have great grease gun kits and I'm curious to hear some feedback from their users!
