I=E2=80=99ve had a Lock =E2=80=98n Lube for a few years now and it does =
work just fine, but as noted, it=E2=80=99s bulky. And for 30 bucks I =
don=E2=80=99t have one for each grease gun or even one for home and one =
for the airport.
=20
I recently tried once again to buy a conventional grease coupler that =
works, and these Milwaukee couplers do indeed work, though it=E2=80=99s =
not a religious experience:

They=E2=80=99ve got to be held absolutely straight onto the zerk nipple =

or change the lock pieces, but whatever =E2=80=93 they mostly work =
despite being hideously expensive for simple grease couplers.
=20
Oh to go back to the 1960=E2=80=99s and buy a handful of regular Made in =
USA couplers that actually work properly.

+1 on the LocknLube. It is quite bulky so if access is limited that =
could be a problem.Otherwise a useful item.

I've never used one, so can't vouch for sure, but looks like it would =
work. Cheap Chinese knock-offs are available as well. I've found that =
couplers that grasp the nipple really well are sometimes difficult to =
uncouple.
