Today we will be showing you the performance tool bearing packer Part Number PTW1218. This is what it looks like after we force grease into our bearing. It's a good idea to re-grease your trailer bearings every few years. It extends your life of your bearing and keeps your wheels protected. Reduces friction, keeps the water out preventing corrosion and rust. Now I'll show you how it's done. To assemble your packer you find the plastic cap with the solid end on it and you thread your rod in.
Making sure that the hole stays above the cap of your plastic. Then you take your bearing that you're going to grease, set it on top. Then you take your cap and thread it on. You want to make sure this is nice and snug on top. Now that I've got that set up I take my grease gun put in the zerk fitting on top and force or grease through.
This not only puts new grease in, it forces the old grease out. It accommodates roller bearings like the type I have in there now or ball bearings depending on what style you need. You can see it's coming out the bottom right here and it should be squeezing out between our roller bearings. When you're done putting your grease through you pop your grease gun off. Have your paper towels handy.
Un-thread your top piece and you can remove your newly packed bearing. As you can see there's grease in between our inner shield and our outer shield. It's been forced in by our gun. That's it for a look at the performance tool bearing packer. Part Number PTW1218.

Very good products no problems thanks for everything 711190
e-trailer is easy, go on line place order, products ship usually same day. Tracking provided via email great place to shop for trailer needs. 677804
Definitely not a production tool, but it works great for the yearly bearing repack on the trailer. The threaded shaft tends to unscrew out of the bottom piece when unscrewing the top piece to remove the bearing. Next year I might try to use wrenches to tighten these two pieces together before placing the bearing and top portion on. This year I only hand tightened it. Still works fine and I would buy it again as the price is so low. 418966
**UPDATE WEBSKU** One of the two was off the bead when I received it. Nothing a ratchet strap and air compressor couldn’t remedy. Needed new rubber for my boat trailer. These look like they’ll do the trick. 575763
This is a handy tool! It works well. The only complaint is after using it on the first bearing we found a large metal burr in the bore of the threaded rod (obviously left over from the machining process)(see image below). This made us wonder if we had pressed any metal pieces into the bearing - I guess only time will tell if we did... 661699
Made packing my new bearings SuPeR easy! I’ve always just hand packed bearings and it totally works, but this thing is so much faster and less messy. However, don’t for a second think that it’s going to be a clean job, even with this tool. It just makes it a little less messy and a lot faster. Great tool! 570021
Don't waste your money. Very poor quality. The threads were so poorly produced the pieces would not screw together. Never able to use it. Threw it in the trash where it belonged and purchased one locally. 571332
This item is junk. Did not work at all. I ended up packing the bearings the old fashion way with the grease in the heel of my hand. DO NOT BUY 480541
cracked and broke after the 1st bearing. But, it filled up the bearing with new grease while pushing any old out. If you buy this,know how to hand pack a bearing when it breaks/ 572356
This works surprisingly well. I packed 20 bearings with no problem. Easy to clean up and store with minimal grease waste. 706276
So far everything looks good. Haven't installed it yet. Glad I could buy everything at one time. Finding the seal was the hardest part. Called Dexter to verify. 696927
This thing works exactly as described. The plastic looks soft in the video, but it's rigid and stable. Totally worth it vs. packing them by hand. 677559
Inexpensive and works well 672411
Makes a messy job a bit less messy. 670151
Excellent product. Makes greasing bearing a breeze. 661705
Worked as described, happy about that. Came with inner part filled with tooling shavings from drilling and tapping. Would have ruined my bearings if I had not noticed and spent the time to deburr and clean. 617456
Works perfect and pricing was awsome at etrailer. Didnt want to spend alot for a once in 5 year (or more) bearing packer. Was here in less then 48 hours. 603554
Quick and easy to use. great price. 601037
Works as described. I like it because it keeps you from getting your hands full of grease. 600014
I'm 'old school', never used a packer before so wasn't overly optimistic about how well it would do. I was pleased, less time and just as good as hand packing. 556982
Works great! 545927
Easy to use and works well. It just waste a lot of grease. I had enough wasted grease to pack another bearing plus put some in the hub. For the cost it's just as easy to pack the bearings by hand unless you have several to do. 518149
Don't let the price or plastic fool you great tool and makes job much easier. 514519
Works great, can't beat the price. 485964
Very please with the product and the help from Kayla. The part arrived very fast. I will do business with this company in the future every chance i get. Thanks again. 474928
This will work but after trying it I opted for doing it the old way. More trouble than it’s worth-to me. 463268
Worked great for packing bearings for my new trailer brakes. No problems and fast shipping! 448999
Worked well and eased a messy job, when done by hand. 445062
Didn't get to use but seems to be ok pr oduct 440324
Did not as well as video 436173
Great bearing packer. Makes the job much easier and faster. 435631
This item taught me how to hand pack bearings. Just never could get it to work like I thought it should. Grease kept coming out around the edges instead of through the bearings. Not that complicated really but hand packing is better (definitely messier). 432224
I was very impressed with the quality of this product for the price. It worked flawlessly and I had packed bearings in seconds! No one ever told me about these tools growing up...I used to pack bearings by hand, probably getting more grease on myself than in the bearing! I was worried about the quality for the price, but no need to be concerned. It works great, and if I lose it or break it, I'm not out much. 428736
Excellent product. Makes greasing bearing a breeze. 428642
works just fine*************** 427416
Worked great makes packing bearings a s nap. 424820
This product isn't even worth the cost of shipping, let alone the price I paid for it. The female threads weren't completely cut, preventing the male threads from going thru. Therefore, it wouldn't clamp down on the bearing to allow grease to flow thru the bearing. Do not waste your money. Either buy the higher priced device, or just get some latex gloves and do it yourself the old fashioned way. 423059
worked great 410165

Works just as advertised! 383218
Using this tool for packing wheel bearings makes the job easy and you can be sure the job is done right. 379307
Does not work has described and makes a mess. 377352
Got the job done! Worth the money but it's nothing fancy. 359932
Thanks guys for the great service and website. It was very easy to research items and cross reference items. Used regular shipping and had it in 3 days. Very HAPPY!! 357913
This is a practical tool.And works well.After purchase and with a large can of grease. Realized that a grease gun was needed and had to make a trip to auto store for tube of wheel bearing grease. My bad for not watching the video on operation of this tool. 340258
havent had to use but once didnt work at all grease went everywhere except into bearings.tried realigning tightening ect. Still grease over hands. finally tossed in trash resorted to hand packing. lesson learned appears to be someone tried to build a better mouse trap. Wouldnt recommend this purchase
