The Made In USA fallacy of quality :-(
In order to beat off shore manufacturers (China) at their own game going cheaper simply equates to material quality, robotic production and minimum waged employees. Now-a-days should one get a couple of years out of products made anywhere around this old globe consider yourself most fortunate. Anything beyond that go out and buy yourself a lottery ticket pronto. Just saying!
Lotta truth in that @Dusty .
Just took a break from doing taxes and had a close boo at those oil cans I got. I really don't think I'm gunna bend the handles any time soon. But they are definitely not premium quality products. The fit and finish really sucks. But I think they will do the jobs I bought them to do. They will also be better than the ones I got from grizzly over a decade ago.

This is what I was doing.
More on pressure lubing, did you learn anything from this experience? If your answer is yes then not all was lost, just saying!
Rule of thumb, never use a tool it wasn't intended for.

Was lubing as per manual, with both the cheap crappy plastic oiler supplied (no issues) and the Goldenrod, learned the the Goldenrod has design flaws and not to buy any more.

How did Moose Jaw get it's name? Story goes like this, early settlers were seen hammering their red river cart wheels with the jaw bone of a moose down by the creek. Natives camped close by witnessed this so the name stuck, Moose Jaw!

Before you think I am a 'goldenrod groupie" these are affordable, and the older ones are great.
-- But for a top-quality oiler I haven't found any better than the Reilang R003 double pump model. They are pricey (80$ US plus shipping) but you won't break one or wear one out. Can be used for high pressure injection, and they even pump heavier oils in cold weather.

Oh come on. Go for it! We all know you will be fudging it so it will be even funnier!
The story I remember hearing was that a young native gave his beautiful wife to a river serpent in exchange for a medicine hat that made him invincible in battle. He called the place Medicine Hat in honour of her sacrifice for him. A "Hatter" told me that story a long long time ago.
@Susquatch trying to set the hook again, not going to happen. LOL
Dusty mentioned in post # 31, "How did Moose Jaw get it's name? Story goes like this, early settlers were seen hammering their red river cart wheels with the jaw bone of a moose down by the creek. Natives camped close by witnessed this so the name stuck, Moose Jaw!"
This well known story was widely circulated over the years however, when I checked at the city of Moose Jaw web page it has become something else. I stand corrected just when I thought I had the true facts, go figure! LOL There was no intent on my part to fudge this story, sorry about that.
