MILITEC-1 Grease is a lithium-based grease with 15% MILITEC-1 Metal Conditioner by weight added to the formulation. We like to use MILITEC-1 Grease in our wheel bearings, driveshafts, ball joints, cable housings, and any other bearing surface on our vehicles that requires grease lubrication.
MILITEC-1 Grease comes in standard 14 oz. tubes that fit into standard-sized grease guns.
We also use MILITEC-1 Grease to lubricate our shop ratchets.
Most Snap-on ratchets are the High-Strength Sealed type and feature small O-rings around the dust cover, anvil, and selector to prevent the ingress of dirt and other contaminants from entering and contaminating the lubricant and internal parts. However, such ratchets still require proper lubrication and regular servicing to operate smoothly. We open all of our ratchets and clean out the factory grease as a matter of course as soon as we get them off the Snap-on truck. We then lubricate them with MILITEC-1 Grease and reassemble them.
In fact, we use MILITEC-1 Grease on all of our shop and personal ratchets and ratcheting drivers, whether sealed or not, and the results have been 100% positive. Every ratchet and ratcheting driver we own has been disassembled and lubricated with MILITEC-1 Grease. The ratchets and ratcheting drivers are noticeably smoother and quieter when lubricated with MILITEC-1 Grease than they are from the factory or when they were lubricated with other greases, and we have tried many other greases on our ratchets.
