The Zerk Zapper will help you unclog grease fittings on your tractor and other farm equipment

As you work the farm every day, are you sometimes frustrated with farm machinery equipment when you experience the following situations:

Hearing the creak of your machines knowing something didn’t get greased
Finding an available technician to take apart the machines to get grease in unclogged fittings
Digging out old dried-up dirt and grease behind the fittings

If so, then you may want to add the Zerk Zapper to your toolbox.

The Zerk Zapper breaks down and eventually dissolves the blockage using the power of any solvent combined with hydraulic pressure. Simply fill the Zapper with light solvent, attach the Zapper to the clogged fitting, and start tapping the piston with a hammer till the piston starts to go down. This will then have dissolved any blockage consisting of dirt, sand, old grease, or anything else that might have clogged your tractor.

The Zerk Zapper can open clogged grease fittings in different types of farm machinery from tractors to plow traps.

Located on the piston you have two O-rings, allowing The Zapper to deliver higher power with consistent pressure. You’ll get a stronger grip on the fitting with the four-jaw hardened steel coupler, while the pressure release valve allows removal of tool from fitting without any damage.

For its size and price, the Zerk Zapper is a great addition to any farmers toolbox.

The ToughBuilt® Reload Utility Knife is an innovative quick-change tool expertly crafted from pro-grade materials with a groundbreaking, patented mechanism that allows it to receive spring-loaded blade magazines and autoload a fresh blade with just a flick after discarding the used blade with the push of a button. Just like a standard firearm operation, the mags drop away clear, and a new one can be charged into the chamber with a snap.

Replacement of worn blades is safe and straightforward with a one-button blade-release function that extracts used blades before charging in a fresh one by simply retracting the actuator and flicking it forward again. With a simple press of the mag release, a positive, spring-loaded magazine ejection drops mags clear from the tool or into an open hand. A new magazine can then be loaded inside, making it easy to switch from one kind of blade to another in a flash.

All Toughbuilt mags are integrated with a lower chamber indicator switch. Positions 1, 2, or 3 remind the Pro which kind of blades are loaded in a magazine without extracting the mag from a pouch or pocket. Designed for rigorous cross-platform use, the Reload Knife utilizes quality construction featuring smooth aluminum alloy and zinc alloy for corrosion resistance. It is wrapped in rugged, grippy, non-slip rubber soft-touch housing to protect the tool from shocks and drops while creating a more dexterous hand purchase on the instrument.

The integrated finger ridge guard helps keep Pros safe while cutting robust materials. It includes a five-pack of ToughBuilt universal straight-edge blades and a five-pack of ToughBuilt’s specialized hook blades, which use an intelligent, precision-milled proprietary edge design. The blades work interchangeably with both the Reload Knife and the ToughBuilt Scraper Utility Knife or any standard utility knife.
