[Closed] Santacruz Grease gun - replacement cartridges

Cheers

That's quite pricey when you add on £3 postage though

is there an alternative grease more readily available/economical that can be used

Is the 3oz cartridge a standard size?

I use the Super Lube cartridges which fit the gun. Bought 3 cartridges and some Super Lube silicon spray from somewhere in the UK but can't remember where. It's designed for applications like outboard motors etc so is designed to repel water etc. If you can't find the tubes you can get a 400g tub for about £15 and just refill the tube

Yeah I bought some marine grease from amazon, have a look on MTBr, that's where I got the link form. The stuff I got looks exactly the same and cost £6 for three cartridges

Thanks for the replies

It would appear that this is the grease you get with the santacruz gun.

I'm damned if I can find it anywhere online in the uk though.

Captain, I don't suppose you remember where you got it?

Cheers

If you Google Super Lube there are quite a few hits for UK places that supply it but you might have to search deeper to find replacement cartridges

I think in future I will just keep the empty cartridge, buy one of the 400g tubs for £15 and just refill them. 400g is the equivelant of about 4.5 tubes so pretty good value

Isn't this the [url= http://uk.farnell.com/loctite/2105012/grease-superlube-400g/dp/3072472 ]STUFF[/url]

Right stuff, wrong package. If you look under the tube is says "for illustrative purposes only". What they are actually selling there is the 400g tub

I have the SC greasegun and I bought a large cartridge of Yamaha marine grease from local outboard/lawnmower servicing shop for £10. It's great, high performance stuff.
I just unscrewed the top off the SC gun, took the cap off the grease cartridge and pulled the plunger out as I pushed the gun in to the cartridge. You do have to scrape grease off the outside of the gun but it's not that much effort.

Apologies for digging this up but...

Are you UK based, as the Amazon link is .com and is stated they won't ship outside US for that three cart pack?

Annoying as it's a bargain. $9.5 for three, and yet here it's £9 for one!

Really struggling to find something in the UK. Doesn't have to be this stuff, just something compatible with the gun and good marine grease, and not a rip off.
