Not just for the bar, but also for the bearing in the clutch

[@collinperry290]

Thank You! This will be perfect for greasing my chainsaw front sprocket, which has been seizing up. My Husqvarna manual NEVER mentioned that the front sprocket needs grease and not just bar oil. I know now, but it would've been nice if the manual had mentioned it up front.

[@chrisshin238]

Simple and clear explanation. I got the plastic one for residential use.

[@Fireship1]

I use that little metal grease gun to grease the hammer mechanism on my air impact and right angle air grinders. There's a small check ball that will allow the tip of that small grease gun to plug in. Few squirts of grease will keep the mechanism lubed.

[@thomasniner001]

Nice grease guns but I have been using hypodermic needles ( without the needle part ) for 30 years with the same effect. Another advantage of having a nurse in the family.

[@geneballay9590]

If there is not a nurse handy, use the large hypodermic injectors that are for injecting flavoring fluid into turkeys, and other meats, before cooking.

[@donyboy73]

good idea

[@CVP-og9pw]

I find that plastic needles "decompose" (the plastic becomes brittle) when used for motor oil, do you have the same effect with grease?

[@maurovera8917]

Me too, but one day i decide to buy this german tool and broke at first use.

[@tomalophicon]

Yep, i use the little 3mL syringes for baby medicine

[@chunker6455]

I used it to grease my toothbrush motor and it runs smoother now

[@h.v.schainsawtrees4967]

They save the life of your bar I highly recommend them and u can use them to grease your clutch sprocket

[@kevinwoodcock7578]

Machine maintenance is everything!!!!!! Thanks dony

[@charger19691]

This is a must for any chainsaw owner!

[@900stx7]

I always use my finger to cover the hole on the opposite side that i'm greasing. I find if you don't, the grease goes in one hole and right out the other.

[@badawesome]

you should probably see your gynecologist

[@900stx7]

@@badawesome Who do you think taught me this trick ?😊

[@davidschwartz9636]

Thanks for the tip/advice Don. Have ordered myself one, as want to keep my new saw in best condition.

[@mikejardine5372]

I was always told if you grease the tip you have to grease it every use the grease keeps the oil out of the sprocket

[@Cayoot]

That's what I was told at the shop where I get my chain saw serviced. They told me that if you never never add grease, then you never have to worry about it, but if you do add it once, now you've pushed the lube out and you now have to grease your bar regularly. The tech there told me not to do it. He said that it doesn't extend the life of the bar (so you'd notice) over never adding grease. Just don't run out of bar oil.

[@Cayoot]

"Why do you think the number 1 saw maker does not put a grease hole on the bars?" Excellent point. Thanks for the input.

[@900stx7]

I grease mine every time I refuel. Only takes a few seconds.

[@obadiah7771]

I use the plastic one and grease the sprocket before I use it👍 good stuff!

[@hubertlong6874]

here in the south I use high tem works real good be safe god bless

[@johnclarke6647]

I have a fitting that plugs into my grease gun and I lube bars with it. MIT stays plugged into my grease gun at all times. If I need the grease gun to grease standard zero fittings, I just pull it out, replacing it when I am through. My grease gun is loaded with Castro fully synthetic EP2 grease. This grease contains moly, so it is black and really hangs in on the sprocket. I put grease in the bar sprocket until it oozes out from under the chain. I wipe off the excess with a shop towel. I use the same grease to lube the sprocket bearings on my Husqvarna saws through the little hole in the ends of their cranks. Since most of my saws are Stihl, I have to remove the sprocket to lube their sprocket bearings. I use the same grease on them. This is a part of my annual PM program for my saws.

[@sandsock]

i grease the base of the chain on my no grease stihl bars drivers. i find that little xtra grease helps the chain stay a bit cooler and runs noticibly bit faster. at the start of cuting and every other fill up. the chain gets greased.

[@qfdforme]

Don, Great tip. I had one but had not yet used it. Thanks. I am now a user. Bill

[@semco72057]

I have some of the grease around home which I found about a week ago, and have to put in both of my saws. I have had the grease for about three years or more, and forgot it. It is important to have the chainsaw lubed up good, and I may use some of the grease on my weed trimmer also to lube them up.

[@HardKnocksForge]

I have the plastic 'thrust' greaser. I use it for everything. Just used it to re-grease my ratchets.

[@muddy1ish]

Also grease your clutch bearing through hole on end of the crank

[@beanolatte2682]

I use the plastic one.

[@thethreewheelercowboy521]

The plastic end with the chain does go into the end of the metal gun, following the grease tube.

[@brentjones8604]

You can also use them on your sprocket

[@arbeyhdz.j9983]

Thank you very much for the video where you teach very well brother how bad you teach in English and you do not teach it in Spanish but as you like, many for the video

[@yr4137]

Thanks a lot

[@TheSalsy1]

Love the chainsaw videos. Thanks Don.

[@shadwell749]

My local walmart has the plastic one on sale for $3.00.

[@lioneldallaire7402]

You only to grease the tip in the summer,in the winter snow keeps lubed,just like no oil for bar in ice

[@barryhunt5357]

Great Tip !!!!!!!!

[@moonfive9065]

I've purchased several of the simpler plunger type greasers and none have worked more than a few pushes then nothing.

[@900stx7]

I bought three of the Trilink brand on clearance at Wal-Mart. Literally all three cracked the first time using them. The plastic Oregon brand has held up well for me. Their made in Germany. Their labeled as disposable but they can be refilled.

[@danielgaughan4243]

I don't like to think of myself as an idiot, but I got the cheaper of the two and can't get grease to come out. I think the tip doesn't have a hole. I watched this video to see if I was missing something. I'll try tomorrow. I should've got the deluxe model.

[@fitzyholden1036]

I use a spray nozzle to get lots of oil with PTFE into the bar end on my Stihl's. Just as good or do you think grease like you have shown is better mate? Thanks again for the vids. Your knowledge saves me a lot of money.

[@donyboy73]

the grease stays in a bit longer, someone above commented that he uses large hypodermic injectors

[@fitzyholden1036]

Thanks mate.

[@aleblanc3547]

Thanks, Dony.

[@Jay-yy9ol]

What is “regularly”? Every 30 minutes of continuous use? Every 3 uses? Every year? Etc. thanks,

[@snellsentinel6485]

sir, thank you for your chanel I enjoy your work and always look forward to the next videos . I have a request I would be interested in what you think of stills 2 in one chain saw file sharper would you be interested in doing a video on it ?? kind Regards from New Zealand

[@ZiemsRyan]

Thank you!

[@jonathanbosco8458]

Thanks Very Cool

[@geojor]

always good, thanks ...

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Should you grease both sides? I have that cheaper one and it seems to work well. I do a lot of chainsaw milling and I go thru a lot of grease, gas and bar oil. Lol.

[@jamesmullins3219]

thanks--good review

[@donyboy73]

thanks James

[@jcs6347]

Good video, thanks!

[@wtbm123]

Cool

[@lucyandjumper7558]

Nice Dony ☆

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Ha. I had a kit with weird adaptors in it. Turns out, it was for a grease gun and one small tip can do the bar! Thanks! PS. I have a Greenworks 40V pole saw. The thing is out of warranty. The support sucks. The saw will clatters when on a load (like 2cm oak branch!). Reviews also said same issue after +6 months. POS. Don't recommend. Grateful to my Bro-n-law for giving me his $700 --13' Stihl gas powered polesaw.

[@forgedsteelwrench9249]

Ive owned a chainsaw for yrs now and barely found out i need to grease the front side of it. When i first bought it, only put the oil/gas mixture but never added the chain lube oil😁.... I know Im a DUMBASS but i rarely use it. 2 times in the 8 yrs I've owned it.

[@isaiahslawncare8600]

I got the countyline one from Tractor Supply today but I don’t think it’s refillable

[@SnifterRoux]

Is that lithium multi grease or another type?

[@HylianOverlord]

cart ridge

[@georgegiamalis9451]

What is the role of the big hole further back??

[@mattstrom5348]

The plastic one goes form "Oregon" to "Aura-Gone!" when that brittle plastic casing breaks! All the stores in my area, do not sell reusable ones that will hold up in real life!

[@900stx7]

I've used the plastic Oregon type for years without any cracks. Just don't run over it. It's plastic ! They can also be refilled easily by removing the clear rubber plunger and adding your grease of choice.

[@zx8401ztv]

Neat and Convenient :-D

[@africantwin173]

the downside is of both these products, they need a spring inside of grease to get under pressure..

[@MmlawnService85]

How offer do u Grease your chain Saw bar

[@mrBDeye]

Is the plastic grease gun refillable?

[@connorjohnson9230]

There seems to be some controversy over whether bar tips actually should/need to be greased. Some say grease makes them last longer, others say it causes them to fail prematurely. Thoughts?

[@donyboy73]

a bit of grease will never hurt

[@Therealestrunnerluda]

Don’t need it but depends how you’re using it

[@christophermills7574]

Hi Don my name is Chris and was wondering if they have them at Lowe's or a Home Depot. and my other ? is I have a Super E Z Automatic and it has no grease hole, so does regular Bar & Chain oil act as the same thing as the Grease does ? I use Pro Select from Lowe's does that a matter.

[@donyboy73]

yes the bar oil will lube it, you can also add grease by pressing in with your hands

[@bigpardner]

What type grease?

[@stanleybelk8795]

If your Sthil bar doesn’t have a grease hole near the sprocket is it ok to drill one

[@rcrepps3949]

Yes drill all the way through so you have a hole on each side. J/K. I have talked to a few professional arborist all of them said there is no need to grease a new chainsaw bar. This was something that was done back in the day when there were manual oilers on saws. I have been cutting tree for well over 10 year and never oiled a sprocket before. I have only replaces on bar, because it was bent.

[@BAKERHUSKIE]

I have never used grease. Actually, didn't know. Bars rungood anyways.

[@shadwell749]

I never knew either.

[@sclark1701]

Hi Dony. Have you ever added a grease hole at the end of a smaller bar that did not come that way from the factory? I am considering adding one to my MS170 bar to see if I can get some grease pumped in there.

[@donyboy73]

no I haven't

[@CVP-og9pw]

Sthil doesn't put grease holes because you don't need it, the bar oil works just fine and i never gresed the sprockets even in bars that had the hole

[@jonathanmartell6707]

How do you deal with priming the grease pump? I've found that the cheaper push style tend to get air inside, and won't actually pump grease.

[@wildbill23c]

Use a screwdriver to push up the follower in the grease tube while pushing the pump knob, at least that's what worked on mine.

[@kittytrail]

that's why you don't buy the cheapest crap. 😽👆

[@PuchMaxi]

I was told that you don't need to grease them, since the bar oil lubes the sprocket. And if you would grease it once you need to keep adding grease. I thought this was silly, because they come pre-greased from the factory. Maybe they just wanted to sell more bars. What do you make of this "myth" Don, just grease them anyway?

[@donyboy73]

just grease them anyway because if you accidentally run out of bar oil at least the grease will save your tip

[@PuchMaxi]

Thanks Don, grease is cheap. Bars are not.

[@rcrepps3949]

Bars are cheap when you don't buy them from this guy. Shop Amazon bars are cheap. Even name brand ones. Never greased a bar. I never run out of bar oil.

[@kaylas4132]

Cart ridge?

[@73superglide62]

grease release

[@cfishel15]

Hi Don, for those bars that don't have grease holes, would you recommend carefully drilling a small hole in the bar? Or would that cause more harm than good? Thanks for the great videos!

[@Keifsanderson]

More harm than good. No way to clear any filings introduced, and we don't know what the inside of the bar and sprocket look like. Just keep your bar oil topped off and that will take care of the sprocket.

[@CDP135Z]

Always grease the tip....sorry, I never really grew up.

[@HardKnocksForge]

You're also supposed to grease the tip when the wife starts smoking.

[@PatrickWagz]

All you have to do, is put the tip in the hole...

[@-EC002-]

Ram it in as hard as you can, give it a good pumping, when stuff squirts out the sides that's time to stop... job done ;)

[@MarkGarth]

Just the tip, mind.......(thanks Ave, I can't stop adding your sayings to other videos now) :-)

[@aldoagnellini756]

what kind of grease you suggest to use?

[@wildbill23c]

I just use all-purpose grease to refill them with.

[@whitneyjdodson]

Don, what if my saw doesn't have the hole?

[@captainconner4060]

The bar oil will lubricate the sprocket nose assembly just fine, even if you grease it, the bar oil will flush out the grease during the cut in a matter of a few minutes.

[@imantsbalodis5539]

LITUANIA OREGON CHAIN SAV

[@stevenraposo3490]

why does my snowblower spits out flames out of the muffler after doing the muffler valve

[@KAnn62381]

geez for being premium it seemed like alot of extra work out of the box?

[@FishFind3000]

Cart ridge...?? It's said car-tridge.

[@scottybogs6895]

FishFind3000 Yes I noticed that too lol, I think he must be French.

[@donyboy73]

lol,

[@donyboy73]

yes lol

[@gregtaylor8327]

Never greased a bar never will. Just attracts any shit thats around. Used th fell trees in a forest on sand dunes folks that did grease wore a bar out in 3 months.

[@BAKERHUSKIE]

Same thing here. Never done it before

[@captainconner4060]

I never grease my Oregon bar tips, the bar oil does a very good job of maintaining proper lubricity of the sprocket tip. I greased mine a couple of times in the beginning, however after cutting the bar oil as it heats flushes out all the grease. I realized the bar oil does a fine job. Hence is why Stihl does not have a grease hole on their bars. Its pointless. The greasing of bar tips is a waste of grease and money. Of course anyone who uses a saw via profession knows this.

[@alanc3307]

Must not have watched the vid. he is greasing a Stihl Bar

[@Blazer02LS]

WHAT, you don't grease the bar, you just keep running it 'til the sprocket flops around and the bar turns blue from the heat... (that's what the half-wits around here do).

[@donyboy73]

lol
