CarlubeXCG020 Multi-Purpose Grease, Copper

I purchased this copper grease for changing the brake pads and discs on my Toyota Celica. Initially I wasn't sure whether to buy this small tube or to buy a large tub of copper grease, however a friend pointed out that this should be more than enough and as I have no other regular use for it, I decided to get the small tube.It was delivered quickly (within 48 hours) and although it is only 20g, due to the small amount used on each set of brakes, I still think this will see me by for more than a few sets of brake changes. It seems decent enough quality (I've only used the spray before so nothing to compare it to) and there has been no brake squeal so it seems to have done the job.The tube arrives in a blister pack with card backing as shown in the photo, which it is easy enough to get out of. The tube is sealed with a foil lid under the cap, simply remove the cap and turn it over, using the "point" recessed within the cap to pierce the foil and off you go.If, like me, you haven't used a grease before (as I have said, I only used the spray stuff before), my advice would be to put a little but on, see how far it goes and then apply further as required. On the first brake I put on what I thought would be enough, only for it to be too much. Not only is it more difficult to take off than to put on, but it also wastes the paste.

Used this copper grease on my brake pads recently, on the back and ends only. This grease has high temperature resistance and no more squeaky brakes now. Great job.

Used to change disks and pads. Great lubrication and good functuality.No leakage and no extra noise. Water resistant and no problems since instal.

I like the small size. If you're wrenching 9-5, you'll soon run out of copper grease, but for occasional DIY this is a perfect size to slip into a general-purpose toolkit that you can carry anywhere.I also find the "toothpaste tube" style much more convenient than the lipstick-style applicators. The consistency is more runny than waxy, so you might apply too much, but it will obviously seep into all the parts of a threaded or sleeved fitting that you need to grease.The price is good, too.

Slippery stuff beware!

Great product at a great price

Just what I needed good value for the money arrived quick

I only bought this because the much better value (500g for £5.75) option was out of stock, and I couldn't wait! The packaging is heavier than content (just 20g) in this one ;)
