A couple years back I saw (I think at a lube expo) some lubrication ID tags that could be affixed to or the zerk, button head or bearing. We need just a simple tag that tells the oil or grease type for each point. I have found larger tags on the internet that give detail for frequencies etc but we don't need all of that..Just a durable tag for lube ID. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a vendor of such tags ?
Thanks

I sell a simple aluminium tag that I have laser etched with the applicable information. These are professional looking, easily indentifiable and very durable in most applications.

Alternatively you could just use a die grinder or engraving tool to etch in whatever info you like. These can be purchased in various colours so I can colour code these for either grease types or differing sampling points.

For a cheap alternative use a dog tag that dog owners put on there collars, they are aluminum and come in various colours, shapes and sizes.

Hope this helps and is of use.

Dear JE,
Plastic, color coded tags/covers are available for grease zerks in the McMaster-Carr catalog (http://www.mcmaster.com/) page 2004. You can get a package of 100 for just over $5.00

SB, thanks for the McMaster-Carr website. Just know it exists online.
