SKF has announced the introduction of its Lincoln 12 Volt, lithium-ion PowerLuber. Developed for quick, effortless application of lubricant, this grease tool is suitable for agricultural, automotive, construction, general maintenance and industrial applications.
The PowerLuber features a lithium-ion battery for maximum power and efficiency and delivers grease at up to 550 bar. Its three-point base keeps the tool upright for user convenience and helps prevent dirt and debris from entering the motor. Its ergonomic, lighter-weight construction reduces operator fatigue and allows easy access to tight areas.
The gun’s new dual-lip follower enables bulk or cartridge delivery and eliminates grease bypass. The PowerLuber has a bright, built-in light emitting diode to illuminate the work area and also an integrated hose holder and tube guide for secure hose storage and easy threading of the grease barrel.
