Review on Lincoln Lubrication G525: Convenient 5 Quart Measuring Can with Flexible Spout by Richard Ahmar

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The Lincoln name, not the Lincoln quality. These are not the banks you are looking for.

Carl's review costs money. It cannot be shown in the picture. This is not the glass that many of us have been using for decades. It is a fake. In my photos, the other base and spout are clearly visible. The pouring material is a corrugated metal tube that needs to be bent to shape it. The old ones are a single strip of metal rolled into a flexible tube. If you wiggle the can instead of maintaining its rigid shape and popping out of the fill hole, the good ones will flex and the weight of the tube will keep the tip in the fill hole. I guess you could argue that the rigid tube could support the glass to keep it in place, but it just seems like it will break off after a few bends. catch. I had to bend it to give it strength to hold the stiff, inflexible spout. As you bend the tube you can hear the paint coming off the tube. I don't care if leftover paint ends up in my oil tank. Around the base the weld is sloppy and the finish hasn't been properly prepared so the paint won't hold but will blister. The label was creased and half peeled off. All in all, it looks like they took a great product, then cheapened the design to make it viable in the big department stores, and got a cheap Chinese buyer to make it.
