Strengths: WOW, flushed the grit out of my shimano deore freehubs like a power washer. ( i cut off and threaded in an older nylon turkey baster) Completely filled with the freehub mechanism with Psul's soup, or my teflon semifluid mix. Amazing, and the morningstar seals are far superior to shimano'sWeaknesses: my freehubs are so quiet, my friends can't hear me freewheeling in a pace line. LOL without the buzzing freewheel the birds and cows sound so d*** loud..... my bikes requires so little maintance, I don't have anything to do on super bowl sunday any more....Bottom Line: won't be using too often, as the superior seals and teflon, and teflon ceramic lubes will never wear out or get contaminated over my life time.... LOL

Bottom Line: I had an old 1995 XTR hub that was totally silent - I couldn't even feel the clicks, and I like that. The bike was stolen, and I replaced the rear with a shimano XTR FH-M965 hub.
After building the wheel, I found the freehub ratcheting to be pretty loud, so I took off the freehub and lubed it with the Freehub Buddy. I used the Morningstar Freehub soup lubricant also. After reassembling, the freehub was totally silent and very smooth running!
I also have an old Dura Ace hub that was totally silent, but after many miles started to skip. I took it off, flushed it with the tool and then re-lubricated it, and now it has been working perfectly and totally silent for over a year. I am totally pleased with the product!

Strengths: Very easy to use. I lubed the freehubs in conjuction with putting ceramic bearings in two wheelsets and this was the easiest part of the job. Squish out the old lube, and squish in the new. Done. I ordered the lube that goes with it and I would recommend that as well, even if you end up wanting a different lube you can reuse the syringe that screws into the tool. $30 is a pretty good price for a tool that will last forever.Weaknesses: None that I can forsee.Bottom Line: If you are going to rebuild your wheels at regular intervals like you probably should, this would make a good purchase.
