Oil cans
Oil cans
Is there such a thing as a good quality made oil squirt can anymore ?...these import junkers I get from, Lowe's, Menards, home Depot, or msc supply aren't worth carrying home. They leak, don't pump.....or you have to pump it 50 times before it finally works......surely someone carries a good quality oil pump can, for lubing around the engine and filling lubricators

Re: Oil cans
You can maybe still get one from the UK
I purchase any old oil can I see at auctions or whatnot

Re: Oil cans
This, while expensive is the best oiler I have ever used. Works sideways, upside down, etc...

Re: Oil cans
I like these and have several. Every once in a while they go on sale for around $11 and I buy a couple:

Re: Oil cans
I got two of these from McMaster for use with my lathe. I use one to dispense cutting oil. The other one has machine oil for keeping the lathe well-lubed. Made in USA and works great.

Re: Oil cans
Go to second hand or antique stores to find good condition old oil cans.
Re: Oil cans
I've had a Reilang #2 for many years, which is now #R003-252, and these oilers are extremely well-made. The only change I would make in it, merely personal preference, would be to make the oil delivery 90° to the bottle, so that when the bottle is held vertical the oil comes out straight ahead. Otherwise, it will last a lifetime.

Re: Oil cans
I get my oil cans at flea markets, garage sales, etc. I don't bother buying new anymore.
At the risk of sounding like a cheapskate, I will absolutely haggle on oil cans. The most I ever paid was $15 for the large oil can that I attached to this post. Most small oil cans like in the other photo I pay $3-$5 apiece. I'll walk away after that.
I think I have 25 of these smaller versions. I enjoy cleaning them up and making them useful again. Can't wait to use them with my engines!

Re: Oil cans
And the cans are so air tight that none of the lube leaks out
