Bearing Packer

I tried a bearing packer many years ago and was unhappy with the results and have since always used the gob-o-grease in the palm method. But last night while doing my F-250 wheel bearing a I decided I need to try some kind of packer again. Any one got a good recomendation?

Thank, Rich

Napa sells one for around $20. Can't remember the brand name, but the bottom is red with a clear top.

If you find one that works well, be sure to post it. I repack the bearings on all three of my trailers every year, and one that works well would be nice. I've always been a little skeptical.

Thanks

I surfed around a little and found the one I think you are talking about. There were two that were similar and this one looked a little bigger but I am still not sure if the in wheel bearing on my F250 will fit in there. This one is mostly clear with are red top dust cover. Got it for $20 at Carquest.
