Review on DOWELL Metal Oil Can – Pistol Pump Oiler for Lubrication, 16oz 500ml Bottle with Straight Spout, Black (HY050201) by Julian Rash

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good and strong pumping action, easy to get into hard-to-reach narrow places.

This oiler has a very good built in pump, so far no problems with the pump and everything works as expected or even better. Small, easily penetrates into hard-to-reach places, especially with a flexible spout. A straight run out also has its uses, it hits right on the spot (no punt :). Well I think the weakest link of this metal oil can is the connection where you change or swap out the spouts. It is very difficult to see how the threads go through the hole of the metal trigger, so you just have to do it by feel and mostly by touch. First, try winding a few threads slowly before tightening to avoid leaks from misthreading. After toggling on and off a few times, things should get easier. However, if you don't have to switch between the two heads often, it shouldn't be a big deal. Other than that it's a really good oiler with a solid and well built pump and brass nozzles, solid metal bowl and spout, no leaks yet.
