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

Locking grease couplers should have the same standard thread as all the manual couplers.
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

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 [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Wow. You guys about summed it up, but that really is ridiculous.
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?

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
I wonder if they ever found out what idiot thought he could get away with substituting those fittings.
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.
