This would have been nice to have way back when.

 I haven't packed a bearing in several decades. But back when I used to do that sort of thing, I would have used this thing a lot. I always used to do it by hand, and that was messy. Worked well, but messy.

  1. I've had a 2 piece bearing packer for 25 years at least. It's basically 2 cones, the bottom one is similar to the one in the video, the top one threads down a hollow rod through the middle sticking up from the bottom half and it has a grease zerk on top. You screw the top down with the bearing in the middle and pump grease in. I think it was a Lyle product also. Works great.
