Hi there trailer owners, today we're going to be taking a look at Lubrimatics 14 ounce lever action grease gun. We just got done repacking the bearings on our trailer here. There was no damage to the bearings but it had been quite a few years now that this trailer's been in service, so it's always a good idea to check your bearings, make sure there's no pitting or scoring on them. And while you're there you should replace the grease to get out any dirt, moisture or anything else that's in there to ensure you've got nice, smooth operation.After you've got those replaced if you greased them, you can use our gun here if you've got easy lube axles, and this is actually something you can do without having to take the bearings all the way out and check them. We inspected them and did everything to make sure that they we're okay, but you can just go in here and add some new grease. The grease fitting is located right there.
Our end we'll click right onto it and then we just pump our gun. And as we're pumping our handle here, it's filling our cavity up inside with grease and that also pushes it through our bearings.The guns are rated for 6,000 pounds of pressure which is more than you're ever going to need when you're using it with your wheel bearings here in most cases, but many of your other components on your trailer require lubrication as well. Especially if you've upgraded your equalizers or the pins for your leaf springs. A lot of the replacements are going to have grease fittings on them so you can grease those and extend the life of those components.With those, they do often freeze up, rust gets in there and it can be difficult to deliver grease to it. And that's where having that 6,000 pounds of pressure really comes in handy because you can drive out that rusting corrosion and get that grease into those spots that have been missing it for potentially many years.
With our lever here it does deliver grease of one ounce over 40 strokes, so this is per stroke that we've got coming out there.And again, over 40 strokes, that's going to be about one ounce of grease. Now if you need some grease for your gun we've got plenty of greases available from Lubrimatic here. They offer both marine and wheel bearing grease. We're using the standard wheel bearing grease on this but the marine we would be using on something like a boat trailer. They're available in tubs or cartridges, and this is going to use the 14 ounce cartridges here.So when you're ready to install one or replace one that has been emptied, you'll want to start by pulling on the lever here at the back and this will pull out.
It is going to be a little hard to pull it if you've already used it. And then once you've got it pulled back there's a small slot in the bottom, it'll just tip to the side and that's going to hold this in the release position.We've released all the spring pressure on the seal that's pushing up on our grease. We can then remove the top and here inside we've got our cartridge. This one's not completely empty yet so we're going to be saving it, but it does just slide out of here. We can see there.
So when you go to install your new one, that was the standard wheel bearing grease. We've got some marine grease here we're going to be sliding in there.We'll start by taking the cap off. It will then slide down inside our tube. I like to give it a little push and twist, it can release the lever here at the back when you do that. But it's important that you get the seal up inside of your tube here in order for it to push properly and get out any air that's inside of it.Once you've got it down in there, the top here just has a pop top just like on a soda can. So we're just going to pull that and we can now re-install the top. On the top here it does have a small fitting you can use to bleed out any air, but what I actually found that I like better than grabbing an allen key and removing this is to just loosen this up a turn or two, just like that. And when we go to release this now it's going to push the air out past the threads.So it'll just save you from having to go get another tool. Once we've done that we're just going to go back and forth just to make sure it gets that air out of there, and then we'll tighten it up. And at this point you're ready to start filling anything, we're just going to test it out here on our rag. And you can see the difference in color between our wheel bearing grease that's coming out, what was left in there, and the marine grease there. It's kind of a bluish green versus a darker forest green. And you can see now we are into our new marine grease. And that completes our look at Lubrimatics 14 ounce lever action grease gun..
Suits its purpose as a cheaper grease gun. I had trouble getting the air bleed out but this may be just because I have never used a grease gun before. I ended up removing the bleed set screw and used my finger over the hole while applying grease. Worked great like this. Just had to release the ram rod in the back when I was done so grease wouldn't shoot out the bleed hole.
Worked perfectly for lubricating the ez lube bearings for my trailer. Fast shipping, great customer service.
It works, but feels cheap, because it is cheap, so that is why it is still 4 stars. Probably not for daily use but if all you do is grease a few axles once a year, works well.
Easy to install
Excellent product as described
Product works great! Fast shipping. Definitely will shop here again
Would not come off of the grease fitting. Ended up breaking the grease fitting,
Hey its the basic grease gun. What can I say: Use to grease the trailer hubs or anything else. Fast service and always available to chat and I like etrailer prices,
Product works. i totally understand why they don't want you reviewing shipping on here. Don't count on it being on time.

Quick service, free shipping and order was packed well and received with no damage. Would definitely refer friends to etrailer.
Perfect fit for the 14 oz grease cartridges and the dexter axle/hub fittings.
Exactly what I needed for the wheel bearings on my travel trailer.
not much to say .... works well, no issues. Previously had one from the discount hardware store, this one is much nicer.
It is your "basic" grease gun. It has worked A-OK the few times I've used it his year. It seems solid and I do not expect any issues with it in the future.
I bought trailer mirrors and they work just great.
Excellent service. Ordered moly grease. Arrived as promised!
Works well, especially for the price. The fitting was a little tight and hard to remove from the zerk for the first few uses, but got easier by the time the job was complete. Would recommend to a friend.
This is a good value for a grease gun.
great price and fast shipping
great basic grease gun for the do it yourself person
Quality product, great service and speedy delivery.

At the top of the grease gun, next to the spout is the bleeder screw. Make sure that screw is tight. If it isnt snugged up, itll allow air in the cylinder, which will prevent the grease from being drawn up into the grease gun.
Worked very well. On a difficulty scale of 1-10, with 10 being the hardest, this was a 3.
Great product. Easy to use.. No issues since bearing maintenance.
Working as expected
