The Original Grease Buster® (Clogged Grease Fitting Cleaner) – GB17-ANZ / GB17-ANZ - Product Application
A patented tool for clearing clogged grease fittings (zerks) and restoring blocked grease pathways. The Grease Buster® consists of a machined steel cylinder and piston: fill the cylinder with penetrating oil, attach it to a stubborn Zerk fitting, and tap the piston with a hammer to force solvent into the blockage under high pressure. This dissolves hardened grease and frees up the lubrication passage, saving time and avoiding disassembly of equipment.
- Purpose
- Used to clear grease fittings that will not accept grease due to internal blockage
- Restores grease flow in clogged or neglected lubrication points
- Typical Users
- Farmers
- Heavy equipment operators
- Industrial maintenance technicians
- Mechanics working on older or poorly maintained machinery
- Common Scenarios
- Pivot pins on construction equipment with hardened grease
- Tractor and farm implement fittings clogged by dried grease
- Automotive suspension or driveshaft Zerks that have been neglected
- Lawn equipment or industrial bearings locked by rust or old grease
- How It Works
- Loaded with penetrating oil (e.g., WD‑40 Specialist, PB Blaster, Kroil)
- Hammer‑driven piston hydraulically forces solvent into the clogged passage
- High‑pressure solvent softens or breaks up hardened grease
- Key Benefits
- Clears blockages in minutes without disassembly
- Eliminates the need for heating joints or replacing bushings
- Prevents costly repairs by restoring lubrication
- Field Use
- Fully manual tool—no power or air required
- Compact and easy to carry in a toolbox
- Ideal for remote or off‑grid job sites
- Compatibility
- Designed for standard grease Zerks only
- Attaches via a grease coupler
- Not suitable for sealed bearings without fittings
- Summary
- Used whenever a grease gun fails to force grease into a fitting
- Cost‑effective solution across agriculture, construction, automotive, and industrial maintenance
