The Lisle 34550 Handy Packer Bearing Packer is an essential tool for anyone who works with wheel bearings. It’s quick, efficient, and mess-free, making bearing greasing much easier and faster. With its compact design, high-quality build, and affordability, it’s a must-have for any garage or workshop. Whether you’re a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast, this tool will save you time and effort while ensuring your bearings are properly packed with grease. Highly recommended!

This is so easy to use greasing bearings does a great job. I would recommend it to anybody who has a trailer or automotive a must have.

Picked up the Lisle 34550 Handy Packer and honestly, it’s one of those tools that just makes life easier in the shop. I use it mainly when doing hub service on trailers or medium-duty trucks, and it takes the mess and guesswork out of packing bearings. You just drop the bearing in, press the cap down, and it pushes grease perfectly through the rollers. No more slinging grease by hand or wondering if it’s packed enough. Build quality is solid, nothing fancy, but it holds up well. I’ve used it with both red and blue grease and haven’t had any issues cleaning it afterward. It’s especially useful when you’re doing multiple bearings back-to-back—it speeds things up a lot. If you’re doing wheel-end work even semi-regularly, this is a cheap tool that earns its keep fast. Definitely recommend it for anyone wrenching on fleets or trailers.

Works really well, just insert the bearing, and press. The secret is steady, even pressure. You are trying to press wheel bearing grease through some fairly small holes, and through a bearing, so don't expect 'instant' results. What you can expect, is to get your bearing greased notably faster than by hand, and without a palm full of grease. Unused grease just sits at the bottom of the reservoir, waiting for the next bearing you have to pack. It seems large enough to fit any automotive bearing you'd come across, and farm equipment up to the front wheel bearings of an IH 1486 tractor. The cup is easy to fill, you can lift out the plunger, and scoop bearing grease into the reservoir with an old spoon, paint stir stick, etc, or via the standard grease nipple on the plunger itself, using whatever grease gun you have lying around. It works so well, I would like to give it 5 stars, except for one thing. The 'lid' or whatever you call it (the red thing that looks like a dust cap) does not fit over the top of the entire unit. Instead, it fits down into the packer, only covering the white plunger. In my opinion, a little bit of dust/dirt could get past the cover to the outer edge of the plunger. Granted, this will likely not contaminate the grease, but it could scratch up the sides of the clear outer shell, making it hard to see through clearly. Also, it will not shed water, any condensation that gets on the cover will not roll off the outside, but rather will stay inside the unit, at the top of the plunger. It is not a big deal, I just put a rag over the top to keep off the dust, and absorb any condensation, but it is still an annoyance. I am going to check out if the lid off an old peanut or small coffee can might not fit on top tight enough to work when I have the chance. Until then, the rag will be on top. If they'd make a little improvement on the cover, it would be a 5 star tool, as it works well, saving both time and messy hands.

Worked well formy VW.

Great little tool. Much faster, cleaner, and easier than packing bearings by hand.

This thing is the bees knees! I used to wear a tube of grease over half my body trying to pack by hand and then my carpal tunnel would kick in and I'd drop the bearing and have to start over. Not with this! Easy to use and fast too. I do like to spin the bearing and pack it a couple times with this, but it's still way faster than you can pack one by hand. Just get this now and be done with it.

Works great to pack the bearings. So glad I saw this on YouTube. Works great

I’ve used it multiple times so far, with excellent results. Would definitely recommend.

Greatly speeds up repacking trailer bearings vs doing it entirely by hand. Obviously turns into a greasy ball of plastic in the end, but well worth it!

As described and on time, 5 star trader.
