    Got Grease?

    I've been in construction for almost 20 years. The other day I did a double take on this little tube, I never noticed it before. I wonder if Lucas gets a cut? Weird, wild, stuff.

    Fett grease??

    SO does this mean it is a grease derived from Fett (blood, mucous, earwax?) , or is this a grease for using ON a Fett, and if so, what for ? (lets NOT go there) ?


    Disgusting. I Know. I hate myself for thinking it. <shame>

    Yeah, me and a garrison buddy of mine were working in his garage one day and we noticed that on a little tube of grease - I think it was for an RC car...It had "grease" written in multiple languages. We just figured Fett was grease in another language.

    Funny stuff though!

    Re: Got Grease?

    ItsThatGuy is right. Fett is swedish and means 'grease' or 'fat'.

    'Boba Grease' and 'Boba Fat', is how Fett's name has "sounded" to me since I was a kid...

    OK, i'm gonna totally nerd-out here(from my engineering background), but I think it could be for an electrical part, possibly RC.
    In the electronics world, we use "FET's" or "field-effect transistor's" in lots of boards. They get really hot, and these greases help conduct heat away from the part....

    OK, I will go back to my cave now, and play a video game, and imagine I had a girlfriend too....

    It's used on electric jackhammers and concrete drills. You put a some on the bit before you put it in the machine. I'm a supervisor for a construction company that builds high rises, so we use it quite regularly. The stuff works good.

    Hilti makes hammer drills ( for drilling concrete) and other power tools. The grease is for lubing the shaft of the bit where it fits into the chuck( the part that turns).
