Question:

I am looking at purchasing a grease gun for my new enclosed dual axel trailer. Im looking at part # L30132. The trailer has the easy grease spots. Will this combo pack do the job. Is that the correct type of grease I should use. Thanks for any feedback

The LubriMatic Mini Grease Gun Kit with Multi-Purpose Grease # L30132 is a compact and cost-effective tool-box-size grease gun. It will work with E-Z Lube grease zerk fittings such as those found on trailer spindles and on Bearing Buddy grease caps like # BB1980A-SS.

If you are looking for a grease gun and grease specifically for lubricating your enclosed trailer's tandem axle bearings this general-purpose grease will be fine. If you want to use a heavier-duty unit we offer Performance Tools Grease Gun # PTW54290 that offers 4500-lb pressure and which takes a standard 14-ounce grease cartridge.

You might care to review the linked articles on trailer maintenance and grease types. We do offer a grease cartridge # L11465 that contains grease specifically formulated for wheel bearings.

You will want to exercise care to avoid over-filling or blowing out your grease seals.
