cuts the number of necessary hands down to 2. I've had one for years and it hasn't let me down yet.
Just now bought one.

Greasing the 20 different zerk fittings on my ‘56 VW bus front end will be so much easier now, even the emergency brake cables at the rear each have one as well. No ‘lubed for life’ joints on these 1950s vehicles. Keeping up with chassis maintenance on my 2 other VWs and my Pontiacs has been messy, I can’t wait to use this locking feature.
