Quality pump oil cans?

Take a look at:

The best ones I've found are these:

there's a german company that makes very nice looking oilersthat I've been lusting after - here is contact info Reilang, Reinhold Langguth Metallwarenfabrik, Präzisionsapparatebau Bahnhofstrasse 60

if I remember right, MSC sells them at about $30 each

It works well for me as well.

we have a solid brass eagle at work that is a champ, the only drawback is that the base could be wider, it is quite tippy. The next one I buy will get a piece added to the bottom to fix this

Thanks, that's what I am looking for. I had better buy them now before they go out of production.

Harbor freight? Whodathunkit!

I have been happy with quite a few of their tools, that includes most air tools (except for stapler/nailer combo), hand tools etc.

The brass ones?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVED them.

Same here. About 5 of them around the shop

Man, I have *so* many old oil cans! I used to collect them, now I've got *way* too many.

No question a tall, they used to make these cooler than they do today.

Let's see if I've got this correct -

Your only actual complaint in that rant is that the spout loosens up, so instead of doing what the rest of us would do and just clean and reassemble with a little removable Locktite, you decide the whole thing is crap and throw it out?

Turn in your tools sir, your RCM license is being revoked.

PS: What do you propose we purchase for a better quality product for 3x the price i.e. $6?

MSC # 06623086 if you care to stick to that particular price. Made in USA, even...

I got some a few years back which were, IIRC, made in India, and seem fine - brass pump, steel can, two spouts provided (flexible and rigid).

Poor choice. I've seen those and regardless of where they are made, the pump is lousy for controlled applications it does nothing and then gushes, and that flex spout tends to disintegrate.

Pete C.

aah, did that - metal is soft, spout loosens up again - it's ok for $3, but I would prefer somethign with a better pump, and better material. Still wondering about springing for the german ones.....

Dutton-Lainson makes some fairly nice ones under the Golden Rod brand name.
