What Grease do you use...?

Garage talk. Anything from mounting a winch to water proofing the electrics.

What Grease do you use...?

Post by snotgoblin »

I am wondering what sort of grease to use on my greasable shackle pins.

I am probably going to use some high pressure grease that I will use on the slip joints on the drive shafts.

Fave brands? Best sources?

hands down best you can get its Moreys bigfoot grease, its bright orange, its expensive but its lasts and is worth it, a lot of our logging contractors use it in their machines, cant see why it wouldnt be good on trucks as well

I hear you there Sadam, nothing like a good regular purge grease. Amazing the crap that comes out when you do it just after getting it wet and dirty.

Always intriguing to hear what others opinions on this stuff is. I just ran out of grease in my gun and am considering my options...
