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.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
