FAQs

Is Lube-Shuttle® more expensive?

No. The prices of lubricants can vary depending on their formulations. However, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that comparable greases in Lube-Shuttle® cartridges are either priced the same or even cheaper. How? Well, Lube-Shuttle® is involved in the entire grease production process, right from the refinery level, and sells directly to you, cutting out unnecessary middlemen.

But that's not all! With Lube-Shuttle®, you'll also waste less grease. On average, users waste around 1 in 10 grease cartridges due to issues with their grease guns. Plus, traditional grease guns tend to leave behind 10-15% of the grease in the tube when it looks "empty." However, Lube-Shuttle® cartridges make the most of every drop with an impressive utilization rate of 99% of the grease in the tube.

By simply making the switch to Lube-Shuttle®, you can potentially save 10-20% on your grease consumption. Now that's a smart way to save money while keeping your equipment well-lubricated!

Can I use a Lube-Shuttle® tube with my grease gun?

No. Traditional grease guns, whether they're manual, DC/electric, or pneumatic, rely on an older mechanism with a spring and plunger to push the grease out.

But here's the good news: Lube-Shuttle® cartridges have a unique threaded top that connects to a specially designed vacuum head. This advanced technology allows the grease to be effortlessly extracted from the cartridge using suction.

And guess what? If you happen to own an electric grease gun from DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, or Alemite, you're in luck! You won't face any compatibility issues.

So, sit back and relax knowing that you're on the right track with Lube-Shuttle® cartridges for hassle-free grease application!

Can I use my existing batteries with the Lube-Shuttle® DC grease gun?

No worries! Your batteries can be used for other equipment. When you purchase a Lube-Shuttle® DC grease gun, it will come with its own set of batteries (2), an AC charger, DC charger, and a handy hard carrying case. So, you don't need to buy new batteries – everything you need to get started will be included in the package!
