Video Transcript for Performance Tool Tools - Grease and Lubricants - PTW54290 Review
Today we're going to review the performance tool heavy duty lever aluminum grease gun. This grease gun is designed with a lightweight aluminum anodized barrel. It is designed to accept the standard 14 ounce grease cartridges, uses a heavy duty die cast T handle right here and an internal return spring on it. The end cap is removable, has a positive tab lock. Now the lever handle right here is a zinc plated lever handle, has a nice PVC grip for nice comfort. The head on it is a variable stroke aluminum die cast head.
One side has a bulk load fitting, the other side is an air valve or an air bleed off if you get any air pockets in the gun. You can push that to relieve the air out of it. Now this part does include the 12 inch triple reinforced flexible hose with the anti-kinking coil spring and it does have a 4500 PSI rating. Has a nice PVC cap over the coupler, this would just attach right there. You just screw that in and it also comes with the 5 and a half inch rigid hose with the 10 degree bend. Same way, you can screw that in also either side.
Now this grease gun has a 3 way loading system. You can use, as I mentioned, the standard cartridge. Basically to do that, you would just unscrew this aluminum barrel and again has a nice rubber grip right here. It gives you good grip to loosen it and tighten it. Once you get this barrel completely off, just like that, then what you'll do is this T handle you can see, if you pull your T handle all the way out, this tab will automatically lock in and hold it open. Then you can put your grease cartridge right in there.
Now when you push this handle to release it, if there's a cartridge in there it will just go up against the grease cartridge and then put the pressure on it. Since there's no cartridge in there right now, you can see if I push it, it will release and completely close. Now that's one way of loading it. The other way would be if you had a bulk drum of grease and you wanted to suction the grease up in there. Same way, you just put this down in the grease, pull back on this T handle and that will suction the grease up in there.
Once you get enough grease in there, release it, then go ahead and attach it to the gun. The last way would be if you had a bulk drum but they have a dispenser on it. A dispenser would be similar to a hose just like this that would come off the drum itself. It would have a coupler on the end. What you could do there is then just attach, go ahead and screw your barrel back on. Screw it on until it's tightened up and you just want to snug it up. You don't want to overtighten it. Once you get it all snugged up in there then you'll take the coupler that's on the dispenser on the bulk drum and it would attach right to this side right here. Then you would just pump the grease right into your . Pull back on the T handle, pump the grease right in there. That would be your third way of filling it. That should do it for the review of the performance tool heavy duty lever aluminum grease gun.

Heavy Duty Grease Gun - Lever Action - Aluminum - PTW54290
Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars (8 Customer Reviews)

I lost my Dad's old really good grease gun. I searched and searched for something similar - but I believe he must have paid an arm and a leg for that gun years ago. So, I chose this one, because of the operation of the handle. I cannot squeeze the newer "trigger handle" ones (I am a lady, older, without power in my hands any more) - and needed a configuration like this, along with the long flexible hose. Easy to load, easy to operate. You will need to tighten everything up - it IS grease after all. So, if people are complaining, just stop what you are doing, tighten everything up. It works.

Looks like a durable grease gun for the 14 oz cartridge. Works well. It takes a bit of effort to disconnect from grease fittings, however.

See what our Experts say about this Performance Tool Lubricants Sealants Adhesives
- What Size Grease Zerk Is On The Bearing Buddy?The standard grease zerk fitting is 1/4" and that is what comes with most if not all the bearing buddys # BB2047SS. I've only had to mess with one standard size and use the Performance Tools Grease Gun # PTW54290. I suggest getting one because keeping your components greased up prolongs the life of that component.
view full answer... - How Much Grease Should be Added to the Bearing Buddy BearingsIn order to add grease to a bearing buddy such as the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part # BB1980A you will need a grease gun like part # PTW54290 and the appropriate bearing grease like part # L11390. Once you have obtained both the grease gun and grease you can fill the bearing buddy. An automatic pressure-relief feature is built into the Bearing Buddy. When the device is full, grease will seep around the edges of the piston and into the barrel. This prevents overfilling that can...
view full answer... - Recommended Bearing Buddy For 1.935 Trailer HubI would be happy to make a recommendation for you. Based on the measurement you provided you will need the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors Chrome Plated # BB1938 or Stainless Steel # BB1938SS which is for a 1.938" hub bore. If you do not already have a grease gun to use with the Bearing Buddy you may be interested in the # PTW54290. I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

Choosing the right brakes means matching up those dimensions, as well as the axle's weight rating and the brake mounting bolt pattern. Trailer brakes are available in a 1-1/2-inch width, but these are 7-inch diameter brakes. The 10-inch-diameter brakes we offer are 2-1/4-inches wide and these typically use a 4-bolt mounting pattern.

These bearing buddies fit a 2.441" hub bore so they will work well for you as long as the thread inside your hub bore is in good shape. You want to make sure you drain the oil as much as possible. Then remove the bearings from the hub, clean them and pack them with grease part # L11390. To grease the bearing buddies you...

I confirmed this information through my contact at Lippert based on the serial number S003959875. This bearing kit includes one outer bearing # L44649 with matching race, one inner bearing # L68149 with matching race, one 10-19 double lip grease seal # 58846 and a cotter pin for standard spindles as well as a tang washer for EZ-Lube spindles.

It will work with E-Z Lube grease zerk fittings such as those found on trailer spindles and on Bearing Buddy grease caps like # BB1980A-SS. If you are looking for a grease gun and grease specifically for lubricating your enclosed trailer's tandem axle bearings this general-purpose grease will be fine. If you want to use a heavier-duty unit we offer Performance...

You can see all Bearing Buddy parts we have by clicking on the page I linked for you. Bearing Buddy grease caps are made both with and without threads so you'll want to check your hub bore to see if it is threaded or not. Click on the appropriate type on the page. For a dimension of 2.05-inches you can use a Bearing Buddy kit in size 2.047-inches, such as either...
view full answer... - How to Grease a Dexter EZ Lube AxleEZ Lube axles like the item # T3584F-EZ-8974 come from the factory with just a little bit of grease in the bearings. The first time you use the EZ Lube feature to fill the axle, it will take a lot of grease. You will probably use 3/4 to a full tube for each wheel. You will need the Performance Tools Heavy Duty Grease Gun - Lever Action - Aluminum item # PTW54290 to pump the grease into your axle. I have personally owned this grease gun for years and I have never had any issues or blow outs...
view full answer... - Can You Use Industrial Strength Red Grease In The Dexter HD Suspension Kit # K71-358-00?Yes, you can use a Lithium Complex grease like Lucas Oil's Red and Tacky or Lubrimatic's LMX Industrial Strength Red Grease, # L11390 in these shackles. These Lithium Complex grease products resist water and stay in place, which means they work well on external parts that are exposed to the weather. Lithium Complex grease works well with trailers that are heavily loaded as well as industrial or agricultural trailers that get a lot of use. If your trailer is not used for industrial or...
view full answer... - How to Select Bearing Buddy for Trailer Using L68111 Inner BearingPart # L68111 refers to a race that matches up with bearing # L68149. The inner grease seal that fits with these parts is # RG06-050, which is a pair of double-lip grease seals. These seals have an outer diameter of 2.565-inches (that fits within the hub bore) and an inner diameter of 1.719-inches (that fits on the spindle). A common dimension is 1.980-inches and in this size you can choose an item like the non-threaded stainless-steel # BB1980A-SS. If you do use Bearing Buddies you'll...

For your lube points I recommend the LubriMatic White Lithium Grease - 14 oz. Cartridge # L11354. If you need a grease gun we carry some like the Heavy Duty Grease Gun - Lever Action - Aluminum # PTW54290. For maintenance...
view full answer... - Bearing Kit for Snowmobile Trailer with L44649 Inner and Outer BearingsIt sounds like the bearing you pulled is actually an L44649 which is the inner and outer for 84 spindles which are straight spindles. These are usually found on lower capacity trailers so it makes sense on a snowmobile trailer. For a bearing kit I recommend # BK1-150 because it comes with both bearings, a seal, cotter pin, and EZ lube spindle washer. You may not need all of the parts but you never know! Since packing bearings on the side of the road would totally suck, why not make it...

Thank you for the axle reference information but this tell us other things (axle length of 89-inches and spring seat spacing of 74-inches) but not which hubs you have on your spindles. The linked page displays all Bearing Buddy grease caps which are made in sizes to fit hub bores from as small as 1.781-inches, part # BB1781SS, up to 2.717-inches, part # BB2717SS.

- Does Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles # AKHD-545-35-K Come Assembled and GreasedHub and drum assembly # AKHD-545-35-K does not come preassembled and greased. You would have to manually grease the bearings and assemble it. To make this easier there are greasing tools you could use such as # L70025 with a standard grease gun such as # PTW54290.
view full answer... - What Changes When Converting Oil Bath Hubs to Grease HubsThe only real difference between oil bath and grease hubs are the seals the hubs use. The Titan Disc Brake Kit and Leverlock Actuator w/ Electric Lockout # T4843400 that you referenced comes with grease caps and the correct seals so it would be a very simple transition. You'd just pack the hubs with grease like normal and you'd be totally set. The best grease for trailer hub applications is the LMX Red like part # L11390 as it's the most heavy duty, is water proof, and is also compatible...
view full answer... - How Much Grease to Put In Bearing Buddy Bearing ProtectorsI'm not sure exactly how much grease you will need to add to the hub when via Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors like # BB1938, but the automatic pressure-relief feature on the cap makes this process pretty easy. You essentially will add grease using a grease gun like #PTW54290 until you start to see grease seep out of the seal around the piston. The above mentioned Bearing Buddies are designed to fit a 1.938" hub bore. This is the closest option available to the 1.9" size you mentioned....

This can be done either by hand, by using a bearing packer # L70025, or if you plan on servicing multiple trailers, or just want to cut down on the time it takes, you can pump grease # L11390 into a bearing packer, like # ALL647646 using a standard grease gun # PTW54290. If you are going to do it by hand, start with a gob of grease # L11380 in your palm and then press the bearing...
view full answer... - Proper Lubrication for 5th Wheel HitchesYou will want to use a white lithium grease for the grease fitting that is on top of the head unit on your B & W 5th Wheel Companion Trailer Hitch, # BWKRVK3300. I recommend using item # L11354. This is a multi-purpose white lithium grease that comes in a 14 ounce tube that will fit any standard grease gun. I recommend item # PTW54290 if you're in need of a grease gun or wanting to replace an older one. I have personally owned this one for over 10 years and it has never let me down. It...
view full answer... - Replacement Bearing and Seal Kit with Grease for a Malone MicroSport TrailerNo, it is not normal for seals to go bad that quickly. Typically if your hubs are spraying/leaking grease, it is because of a bad seal. From what I could find, it looks like your Malone Microsport trailer has a 1.98 inch diameter hub. The correct replacement seal would be the Double Lip Grease Seal # 34823. I would recommend replacing the bearings and seals on both sides using the Bearing Kit # BK1-100. To grease the wheels you can use LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390...

We offer these items and they are both linked to this email. If you need a bearing packer, we offer several including the no-mess Powerbuilt # ALL647646 which can be used along with a grease gun like # PTW54290.
view full answer... - Replacement Idler Hub for Older Trailer with 0.99-Inch Spindle DiameterA replacement hub for your older trailer must use the same bearing set as the original hub. This ensures the hub will fit properly on your spindles. The hub kit you referenced, part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K, uses bearing # L44643 as its inner and outer bearing. This bearing's inner diameter, which fits over the spindle shaft, measures 1.00-inches so it will fit your 0.99-inch spindles as long as they are straight, not tapered. Another kit that will work is part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K which uses the...
