Oil can for use with ball oilers

[cuslog]

Well, I said I'd report back regarding the mini-grease gun I'd bought thinking it would pump oil like I had seen in a couple of youtube videos.
So, I bought a "Lincoln" mini grease gun - total POS, even for pumping grease, not a nice design at all and no it won't pump way oil (at least not with any force). Reilang is looking more attractive all the time.

Went though the same grief trying to find a oiler solution for my mill. Zerk fittings rather than ball oilers.

The second one might work for you. You're welcome to try it if you like.

Were you able to get the oil into it without it leaking all over once it was together? When I converted mine over for oil use I had a bugger of a time to get it all sealed so I had no leaks. Also when I put mine together the instructions say to remove the spring on the plunger. I left mine in and it forces the oil to the top of the gun all the time. Once I get it bled, it works great. Mind you maybe my grease gun is different and I just got lucky with mine. I don't know!

My Reilang had a delivery attempt today(no unit # on package) redel on Monday...pretty good since I only put the order in on Sunday. I ordered the rebuild kit with the oiler so it should be good for my lifetime. DHL did ding me $30 for taxes/brokerage on the purchase of both items.

Tried it once right out of the packaging, plunger, spring et al, leaked like a sieve. Removed plunger, spring etc., RTV silicone over the hole in the end, no more leaking but still no pumping (at least not with any pressure), into the garbage can it went, total waste of time and money.

Reilang all the way for me. No mess to fill it, no leaks in storage - whether laying down or upright, operates in any orientation. My only regret is that I messed around with various oil cans, made different ends and put off the purchase of the Reilang for several years.
