I can't say that I have any experience with LE products. That said, the sales pitch sounds the same to me as did the LubriLab sales pitch, and I do have experience with their grease, and a couple other products they sell. They've got a whole line of additives for every imaginable oil, penetrants, rust protectants, etc. From my experience, the products are good. They're just not good enough to draw the price they're asking. Last I heard, a tube of grease was around 6 bucks, and a very close equivelant from a major line supplier was less than 2 bucks. I can't honestly say I noticed any difference in the wear rates or failure rates of bearings, bushings, or anything else. Had breakdowns before I used it, while I used it, and after I quit using it. The only difference is that it doesn't cost so much to grease a machine now that I buy it for 2 bucks a tube.... That's not to say there aren't some very poor products out there from the big guys. There are. The LubriLab stuff, and probably the LE stuff would be far superiour to the bottom end stuff from the big guys.... but look around, because the big guys do make higher end stuff too, at a fraction of the cost..... These salesmen generally prey on peoples superstition, and general lack of knowledge about lubricants, and convince many people to buy the stuff based on all these supposed lower repair costs. In 90 percent of the situatuions, nobody keeps track of maintenance close enough to actually corelate any actual savings or expenses to the lubricants they're using. I have no doubt that there are some clients who do have some benefits from these products, but I doubt that the majority ever will. That's my take on these types of suppliers... take it for what it cost... Rod
