Grease gun, suction gun and waste oil drain by part number: what to buy when hydraulic oil is Rs 942 a litre and EP 2 grease is Rs 1,968 a kilo

Rs 942.53 a litre for HYGROL AW 68 hydraulic oil. Rs 983.61 for GEARLED EP 220 gear oil. Rs 1,967.76 a kilo for EP 2 grease. Those are PSO's trade list prices of 10 June, including GST, and this morning's www post explains why they are 22 per cent above March and not coming down. The grease gun that puts that grease where it is needed and nowhere else is Rs 3,900 at Pakistani retail. That ratio is the whole buying case.

The Vesprr Tools catalogue returns 13 items for "grease", 20 for "oil" and 3 for "drain", all trade price on request. Below is the one part number for each of the four lubrication jobs, with the single specification that decides it, taken from the maker's own sheet because the catalogue cards carry none.

TOPTUL JJAA1402 lever-type grease gun with red barrel, rigid steel tube and hydraulic coupler — TOPTUL JJAA1402 as listed in the Vesprr Tools catalogue. TOPTUL's sheet: 6,000 psi working pressure, 10,000 psi burst, 14 oz cartridge or 400 cc bulk.

Greasing: the number is strokes per ounce

Three hand guns, one spec each. The JJAA1402 lever gun is the high-pressure one: 6,000 psi working, 10,000 psi burst, variable two-stage stroke, 530 mm long. The JJBA1401 pistol grip is the one-handed one, 4,500 psi working, and TOPTUL states its output: one ounce of grease per 40 strokes. That is the number a fitter wants: a 14 oz cartridge is 560 strokes, and a small bearing gets a counted five or six, not a squeeze until it weeps. Over-greasing a sealed bearing blows the seal; at Rs 1,968 a kilo it is also money on the floor.

The Total THT111051 is sold as a "10000psi" gun. Read the sheet: 10,000 psi is the burst figure; working pressure is 4,500 psi, the same as the JJBA1401, with a 400 cc barrel and a 12-inch flexible hose in the box. totaltool.pk, a Pakistani Total retailer, lists it at Rs 3,900. Vesprr Tools quotes on request, and I would ask for both against each other.

Gloved hands loading a grease cartridge into a lever grease gun on a white bench, with spare cartridges beside it — From How to Properly Load a Grease Gun by Lumax, LLC. The cartridge in the frame is about 400 g of grease, Rs 787 at PSO's bulk rate.

For a fleet or a plant with a hundred nipples, hand pumping is the cost. TOPTUL's air-operated JJCA14014 runs a 40:1 ratio, 90 psi shop air in and 3,600 psi out, still on a 14 oz cartridge. Total's THT118302 and THT118452 are the step up: a 50:1 pump on a 30-litre or 45-litre pail, 850 g a minute free flow, 400 bar maximum fluid pressure, 250 L/min of air at 6.2 bar. Same pump, bigger pail; totaltool.pk has them at Rs 51,400 and Rs 63,000. Buy the pail size your grease supplier actually sells, not the bigger one.

Topping up: 225 or 350 cc, flexible or rigid

TOPTUL's NCAA metal oil cans come three ways: NCAA0123 at 225 cc with a flexible spout, NCAA0135 at 350 cc flexible, NCAA0235 at 350 cc rigid, all with a positive-feed brass pump. Rigid for the slideway you can reach, flexible for the chain behind the guard. The KALA0815 mini oiler goes inline on an air tool.

Out of the gearbox and into the tank: one litre a pull, 80 litres on wheels

A gearbox refill starts with the old oil, and the JJAZ0135 heavy-duty suction gun holds 1,000 cc a pull, with a 9.5-inch rigid tube and an 11-inch flexible hose, which TOPTUL rates for gearboxes and differentials. At Rs 983.61 a litre for the EP 220 going back in, you want the old charge out first, and a suction gun through the filler beats a drain plug you cannot reach.

The JJCZ0180 waste oil drain is the shop unit: an 80-litre steel tank on four casters, a 520 mm funnel with a filter and a splash net, height adjustable from 1,090 to 1,570 mm, a sight tube, and pneumatic discharge at 4 kg/cm² through a 1,700 mm hose with a valve. It comes as JJCZ0180E or JJCZ0180J, EU or Japanese fittings; ask which the quote is for. Under a bench the JDCE HDPE pans do the job at 8, 12 and 18 litres.

TOPTUL JJCZ0180 red wheeled waste oil drain with a black funnel on a telescopic column — TOPTUL JJCZ0180 as listed in the Vesprr Tools catalogue. Eighty litres of drained AW 68 is Rs 75,400 of oil at June's price, and re-refiners now want it.

Why the filter matters now: the lubricant panel F&L Asia reported from 9 September said re-refined base oil, which nobody used to discuss, "has come to the forefront". Drained oil kept free of swarf and water is feedstock, not waste.

Monday's order, for a shop with a dozen machines and two trucks: one JJBA1401 on the bench for counted shots, one JJAA1402 for the press and the loader, a JJAZ0135, an 80-litre JJCZ0180, and NCAA0135 cans by the machine. Add the THT118302 only if you are already buying grease by the pail.

And a call, mine. The catalogue sells 13 grease guns and exactly one grease, a hammer lube. With the tool at Rs 3,900 and the fill at Rs 787 and rising, the repeat purchase has moved from the gun to the cartridge. I expect tools.vesprr.com to list a grease cartridge and a small-pack way oil alongside these part numbers before 31 December 2026. If it does not, the guide above still stands: buy the gun here and the grease from PSO's distributor.
