I've tried hypodermic syringes for various fluids but I don't really like them as it's too easy to squirt too much out! The Zoom Spout looks good, Floyd, but as usual not easy to find here in Oz.

Sounds like a good idea here - can you cap them when you are finished so they don’t leak or are they one time use and throw away?

The tip of the spout is pretty small so most oils don't evaporate away at all. The only thing so far that's leaked away is the carrier in "Dri-Slide" molybdenum disulfide lubricant.

They're reusable several times but eventually the oil or solvent causes the plunger to swell and soften and become stubborn. At $.25 or so apiece it's no biggie.

Thanks Stu - more concerned about oil leaking out when the oiler is setting on the shelf.

This looks like a nice alternative, assume seals are designed to withstand oil.  Might give it a try.  Thanks for the tip!

Hi

We used to use them on our embroidery machines, the beauty is you just get one drop at a time so never get oil drops and if used on the hook you don't get wicking up of extra oil into the bobbin and the long thin needle puts in right where it should go

Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
