Been infected with Tool Fever from reading too many DarkZero posts. Didn't realise you could catch it over the internet even though I am far away in Australia until it was too late.
Started with Noga's and now incurable.
Any way my latest purchases have been some Reilang oilers- very nice kit
Bought two types
The nozzle type fits all the the different sized ball oilers on my lathe and mill- {there are several sizes} and depresses the ball to let in oil with minimum leakage. The pump has sufficient pressure to force oil into even the most resistant oilers on my lathe.
Why are some oilers more difficult to inject oil than others?
The oiler with the brush is great for flat surfaces, tailstock ways etc where oil is harder to evenly distribute. Have been fiddling with Knurlers recently and noticed that some of my stored wheels were showing spots of rust. No problem the brush placed a thin even coating of oil over all the fine teeth.
I think the best part is that the oilers work in most orientations and DO NOT leak even when tipped over or inverted.
Purchased from Jens Putzier Tools in Germany. Excellent service , fast shipping and when I had a problem with one of the first ones shipped was replaced promptly without a quibble. Wish all dealers provided such excellent service. Highly recommended
