Hi guys can you please give me a link of gun that is compatible with this packer and can be loaded with 14 oz cartridge grease tube. Thank you in advance!

Hi Alan, I  would be interested in getting your bearing packer.

But then I'm not sure exactly when a bearing should be greased rather than oiled. I thought you said you've switched to using TS 301 on all your bearing because it bonds with the metal and lasts for several years.

There's a product here in Australia Protects Lube which claims to do a similar thing and I've ordered some.

I'm also having trouble fully cleaning out the bearings with pressed in metal shields. Does the bearing packer fully clean these by pushing grease through?

I was going to suggest you maintain a sticky on lubricants and bearings where you can record all your latest tips and lubricants, as when reading through the threads, it's difficult to know which of your tips have been superseded.

i like spool bearings opened, cleaned, lubed in TSI 301 or TSI 321, then installed open.  non-spool bearings i like packed with grease.  they last longer that way.  send a pm or email if i can tempt you with a set!   ;D

I'm noticing using  TSI 301 my reels  are actually getting smoother after sitting in storage for a year or so, it's like magic.
All I usually use is one single drop...good stuff!

For anyone thinking about getting these, you should. I love mine, and they work famously. Never mind the outstanding machine work on them.

It sounds like you're referring to conventional reels. What about spinning reels, e.g. a Stella. What bearings would you grease vs oil with TS301?

I would like maximum free spool plus protection, bearing in mind the Stella has waterproof seals so the water ingress into the bearings shouldn't be an issue unless it is submerged.

Trust me, at some point in it's life, waterproof seal or not, salt will get in the reel. I would grease the bearings on either side of the handle shaft/main gear shaft. Any bearings save for spool bearings (and in a lot of case spool bearings as well) used in conventional or spinning reels exposed to salt should be greased. It saves money and frustration in the long term.

Grease every bearing except the AR (corrosion X)
