Fine oilers

[dogdad]

Any recommendations on a needle oiler? The two I've used were ****. Just need that small drop of oil at times in tiny places...fishing reels, tools, ect.

I had good luck with Golden Rod.

A guy I used to know used some sort of medication for his migraines that was injected from a 3mL syringe with a needle about an inch and a half long; I got a couple of used syringes with the needles, cut the needles off a bit and cleaned up the burrs, cleaned the syringes with solvent, and use them when I need a wee drab of something in a tight spot.

Goldenrod.

Made in USA. Absolutely inexpensive too. I bought mine from Amazon for somewhere around ten bucks.

Pretty hard to beat something like this.

I got 10 X 30 ML oilers at a similar price, after seeing Mr. Pete 222 showing off his on youtube.

How much oil comes out of those smaller goldenrods at a time? Like this one, for example:

I have a Titan Tools 15200 Precision Oiler. It works pretty well, but I use mineral oil in it, and it can be slooow to ooze down the needle and drip out. A lighter machine oil would be better. It doesn't leak, but it also doesn't hold as much as I'd like. I probably just need a larger oiler, is all.

For occasional use, I've found that a small medical syringe is great for very precise application of oil or glue. They won't hold up to heavy use, though, particularly with very viscous stuff like wood glue. But when you need to put just a squirt of glue in a tiny crack, they're indispensable.

Get a pen oiler.

Syringes work great for this. I've got a whole box that was given to me and they will probably last me a lifetime.

Just be careful carrying them around empty. They are likely considered "drug paraphernalia" in many places.
