jorge52892 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Quick question. I just bought the 18v Milwaukee grease gun and it works great but I wanted to order the lock and lube coupler for it and was wondering if anyone here has tried this combo? I think I remember reading a couple months back that the hose on the grease gun did not accept the lock and lube but now I can't find anything on it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Locking grease couplers should have the same standard thread as all the manual couplers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorge52892 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yea it has 1/8 threads from what I've read but for some reason I could of sworn I read someone tried it and for some reason it didn't work so I wanted to make sure since I have one on the way and if it wouldn't work I could go ahead and look for another hose to use it with Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorge52892 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 So after some more searching I found this....I wish there was an easier way to tell what mine has since it's really difficult to take the original coupler off but I guess I'll have to wait for the lock n lube to come in to find out if it'll work or not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Wow. You guys about summed it up, but that really is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Interesting. A little sad. I have the m12 version and made a few adapters for greasing vehicle lift columns..... So i know it's 1/8" npt, but they said only 18 v was affected. You going to take the end off and check the fit of the threads?

jorge52892 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yea once it comes in I'll check it and if it doesn't fit lock n lube offered to replace it with a metric version free of charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I wonder if they ever found out what idiot thought he could get away with substituting those fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 It's probably like 90s GM, where people get fired upwards. That guy had already been promoted out of Ryobi and ridgid haha. Probably at corporate now, a VP of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
