Works best on a work saw, or on a race saw?

I do not think it works "best" on all saws, but I realize that race cars often don't even have collectors on their headers, but it is a desirable feature for most other cars.

Here is a copy paste off a google search of what i am talking about .

We use a lot of nut-zerts on our race cars so I make my own tools... the Bezerker. You can use an impact to set the insert. This one was a quickly made one for 3/8", the 1/4" ones we use all the time have retained bolts and more reach. I make them out of A2 tool steel and oil harden them.

"Thermal events" I'm gonna have to borrow that saying, as we seem to have them at work quite often. I"ll notify anybody that they're on fire, except one guy, he seems to enjoy it.

That is how eXmark, Kawasaki, and Kohler phrase it as well.
