Air Tool Oiler Attachment

I just picked up this automatic oiler from Sears:

It says it should be screwed into the tool, but I'm wondering if it would be ok, to put a quick disconnect on it, so I can easily use it with all of my air tools.

I'm sure you could. Why in the hell somebody would want that **** clunking around on an air tool rather than putting a few drops of oil down it before and after use is beyond me, though.

I threw out every oiler my tools came with. *shrug*

I have the same sentiments... if you are hell bent on getting a "oiler/fogger"; they sell the kind you can hook up before connect your hose; that way it isn't in the way of using your tool and has less chance of getting bashed to pieces! I am just in the habit of putting a couple of drops in my air tools, every time I use them or a little more if I am using it all day. I actually think I would spend my money on a high quality "water trap" and that will really help extend the life of your air tool!

Roger that. I have had several of those oilers. They are great for leaking oil everywhere... but now I just dump some oil into the tool before each use and go to town.

I'd skip this and put your money to better use elsewhere....

I used to have one on my impact gun. Problem i found was that i'd fill it up, and within 10 minutes it'd emptied itself. Had it been a "set-'n'-forget" that you refilled once a week it would've been pretty good. Instead i also put some oil down the inlet before use. Works good.

I have that oiler and one from Husky; sits in the drawer and is not used. I put a few drops of Marvel Air Tools oil each morning and I'm good ..

Another case of a few drops in the tool before/after each use... (when I remember..)

I tried an oiler that looks just like that with my roofing nailer. Mine was branded Porter Cable though. I could never get it to stop leaking. Since then I have gone to squirting a few drops of oil in when I shut down to refill with nails.

I just oil my tools at the end of the day so there stored well lubed and are ready to go the next day
