Product Description
Milwaukee Grease 1 lb. Type T
Model Number: 49-08-4290
The Milwaukee 49-08-4290 is a genuine one-pound tub of Milwaukee Type T service grease, the lubricant Milwaukee specifies for the gear cases and mechanisms of the tools that call for Type T. Milwaukee formulates Type T for areas of critical sliding contact: it carries a Teflon additive that helps support the lubricant film where parts slide under load, along with a molybdenum disulfide additive for greater wear protection, so it is built to minimize metal-to-metal contact and reduce scoring in a tool's drive components. It is a dark gray, semi-solid grease of medium consistency, and the one-pound tub supplies enough for many gearcase services, making it the practical size for a shop that maintains and repairs Milwaukee tools.
Using the correct grease type is important, because Milwaukee makes several distinct greases, each matched to specific tools and mechanisms, and Milwaukee's own guidance is to use only the grease it specifies for your tool. The right type delivers the intended film strength, wear protection, and consistency for that mechanism, while the wrong type can reduce protection or change how the mechanism runs. Before applying this grease, confirm that your tool calls for Type T by checking the lubrication notes on its Milwaukee service parts bulletin or Milwaukee's grease standards chart; a tool that specifies a different grease type should get that type instead. When regreasing a gearcase, follow Milwaukee's service practice of removing the great majority of the old grease before packing in the new grease, and apply the amount Milwaukee lists for that tool rather than overfilling.
This grease is a service consumable rather than a tool-specific part, so it is not tied to a single catalog or serial number; it applies wherever Milwaukee specifies Type T. The one-pound tub is sold individually and is resealable for storage between jobs. For handling, storage, and disposal information, refer to the Milwaukee safety data sheet for this product, document 58-97-0010. Keeping the correct Milwaukee grease on hand means a gearcase or mechanism can be serviced and relubricated to Milwaukee's specification in one step, helping restore smooth operation and protect the drive parts from wear.
