G'day Rob. Good idea for the follow up found it interesting. I think it would be just as well to pay a bit more and get a oil can that you don't need to fix. I have one of those old brass oil cans Eagle 66 or some such name and it still works right despite the age. OH and no leaks.

Hi Harold, Now you're talking. That's when they made "real" oil cans that were built to outlast their owner. I have one of those Eagle 66's (probably the only one in Oz) and a bunch of Regas that can't be beat. Oil cans are always a hot talking point in any workshop. Cheers Rob

The eagle definitely did not land down under. But Alan in the UK swapped me one for a Rega, so there is at least one in Oz. And one Rega in the UK. Cheers Rob

I mucked around with some of the Chinese oilers and all the ones I tried were junk, I ended up brazing the old Rega I had but also bought this www.aimsindustrial.com.au/cesco-oil-can-fixed-spout-300ml which is pricey but also well made and will be around a long time after I'm in the ground.

Hi Rob, Great follow up on the the Chinese oil can. That plastic piston seal won’t last long I’m sure. The cap head screw was a nice fix. I’ve always liked the look of cap head screws. They just have the look of strength plus quality work. I use them wherever possible. The only negative thing about them is the socket gets filled quickly with chips and dirt. A quick shot of compressed air solves that problem.

That Stag is good sh$t Rob, that’s got me outta the sh$t more then once and more then twice, works great on air lines, I drove a R-Model Mack years ago with air start and one small line that didn’t matter where you ran the line or what you done it always got hit and stag saved the day, Thanks Rob

Looks like the same crap oil cans that site supply ordered for the mechanical engineering workshop I supervise in remote Western Australia. Two large boxes appeared in the tool store, and expecting a few large items, opened the boxes and looked in complete puzzlement of WTF is this !!!!. Long story short is that our supplier accidentally issued the incorrect part number. They were replaced very quickly with the correct part, which are stainless steel body, brass pump, and flexi nozzle, and the others binned !!👍👍 Greetings from Woomera, South Australia.

Hi Rob , I have these oil cans which I purchased in 2014, they have always leaked. I could not inject oil in a ball oil port without it leaking and the cover also leaks. All in all a total disappointment. I can see that they've improved this oil can. It took me five years to fix the tip and the fix is simple. The brass tip is just too long. I stuck it in the lathe and cut the tip back just far enough so the tip would push the ball in and at the same time seal the oil port. Since then I just love this small oil can.......

@@Xynudu Hi again Rob, the reason I said anything is because I could see that these new oilers where still leaking oil as you pumped it thru the ball oil port. As you push on the ball it hits bottom and the brass tip has not completely sealed the hole. Have a great weekend and please stay safe... Jim

Have purchased one of these cheep ones. Leaks etc. got a couple of the old Eagle, one with flex and one without. Both of them work good. Also have a newer metal eagle that is also flex but it leaks round the flex spout but not near as bad as the cheep ones. Good taking it apart so can find what is in them.

Sorry to hear about the burn. I hope you feel better soon. Personally, I wouldn't care if I saw it or not, but for your more squeamish viewers, you could cover it with a guaze. Some aloe vera or silvadine on the gauze will help keep it from sticking. I set my hand on fire with a brazing torch once, so I've got an inkling as to what you're going through. I really hate it when new things need repair. What ever happened to quality conrol?

Hi Ron, I put on the Aloe Vera four or so times first off, soothed the sting somewhat, but the skin still lifted. Looks pretty nasty. First time I've ever flamed the torch on me. Not good ;) But it could always be worse. Lucky it was just my arm. Cheers Rob
