A good quality pump oiler? Do they exist?

I bought a couple Goldenrod 606 oilers on amazon. So much better then the leaky HF oilers I had.

I bought some old Eagle oilers and cleaned them up. They are rumoured to leak after a while, but it was more an antique project than a real function thing.

I like the one with the flexible hose as opposed to the fixed metal one.

I have a few of those, Get some of the gas tank sealer they'll never leak.

For the most part, pump oilers are getting to be rather scarce. You probably won't find them in a hardware store anymore due to the advent of spray oil cans. The ones mentioned above are fine.

I go to swap meets and will buy every one of those that I find. I've probably got six or seven of them, I got three of them recently. I have them all over the place. I keep two at the lathe. One has cutting oil and the other has way oil. Some of them have regular motor oil in them. I mark them with black markers and renew the markings when they wear off.

No shop is complete without some pump oilers.
 
For $4, the HF oilers don't look bad. I would worry that I would drop it on the concrete floor and crack the plastic and get oil all over.

The Eagles I have are ok, but have a rep for leaking, especially when the seals get old. Anyone know where the Goldenrods are sold?

A while back, I bought up around 10 Eagle oilers and cleaned them up.

Don't need 10- my wife thought I was nuts (well- she always does).

If you're willing to spend some serious cash (I did) you can get a really great pump oiler. It has a cast aluminum body, and works drip-free in any position, even upside down. McMaster has it as stock #1340K28:

Hi, Frank!

Looks like you're the last of the big spenders. A search of the McMaster site today reveals: "This item is no longer available."

Wow, that was a surprise to see it discontinued. I'm always disappointed to see good products go away. Indeed, it was an expensive thing compared to the regular oilers, but it has that extra measure of quality that expensive products should.
 
The Eagles leak- that is their main problem. Plus, they dent easy, being brass. They are nice to look at.

Wishing I'd bought an extra one like my cast aluminum oiler from McMaster, I did a bit of Internet searching and came up with Reilang, a German oiler that also looks to be a fine unit. So far all the sources I've seen are European or UK. Anybody know of a supplier in the US?
