Hello everyone,

I apologize in advance as this is a pretty stupid question, but I am still young and dumb. I normally use Bosch of Makita (that’s what the nearest shops carry)grease for power tools maintenance(rotary hammers, angle grinders and percussion drills in my case). Some time ago I was given a tin of lithium grease. Can I use it as a substitute for the Bosch/Makita grease? What do you use? 

I am more than open to suggestions. Thank you for your help and time.

Are you talking about the white stuff, like Lubriplate? I am no lube expert but have never seen that stuff in a gear case. You can look up what you have and see what it was intended for. If it were my tool I would stick yo a grar case lube, though I would not hesitate to cross brands.
