Many here use LNL, me included. Not familiar with the grease caps, unless it’s zerk covers?

I love it. Changed all my guns.

I no longer have to hold the end on the fitting to keep it on and no longer have to yank it off a stubborn fitting!

It's OK, can be an issue if you have tight, hard to access fittings.

I just recently got a brand new grease gun and got the LNL to go with it as my old gun started leaking. I love it so far. My old gun id have to snatch so hard on some of the grease fittings on my lawn mower, and Ive busted my knuckles more than once getting it off in a tight area. The LNL is so much easier and effortless to use. The single and only downside to it is what Shiraz627 mentioned. It is a bit longer than a standard coupler, so if you have a super tight spot with little cleareance in front of your zerk, it can be a problem getting the LNL onto the nipple properly. Might not hurt to buy a set of zerks with some 90 and 45 degree options in the assortment and change out any zerks you may not be able to get to if possible.

Love mine, took me 4 years to justify buying one, just could not think of spending that much on something I use so little.

Fast forward, tractor, disk, mower, and brush hog due for grease this weekend. If it breaks doing the above Amazon will be sending me a new one first of the week.

Would not be without one no fuss greasing and I can reach all my zerks easily except one and even the one I can get it on with some patience.

Matched up with my Dewalt battery operated grease gun it is a nice setup.

In 30 minutes tonight all the above will be greased.

I also hesitated to buy one because of price, but now I am glad I did. Very satisfied with it especially when greasing the MMM bearings. Before had to hold nozzle & try to look around & under to see grease coming out, now nozzle is locked onto zerk & can pump away, much more convenient.

I've been using the L&L for a year on both my guns. Make greasing a breeze. For the occasional hard to reach fitting, I use a needle attachement.

I also use plastic L&L zerk fitting caps. They are yellow, and not only do they keep dust/dirt off the fittings, the bright color helps me see where all my fittings are so I don't forget any!

update: Love the LNL but not so sure about the grease caps. It takes longer to take them off and put them back on than it does to grease. Plus you end up with a lot of grease on your hands. I may abandon them totally at next greasing.

Ditto. I love both of these additions to my greasing chores.
