GOLDENROD (625) Pistol Pump Oiler with Straight Spout - 10 oz. Capacity

Good Product

Works fine. Filled with Sea Foam penetrating oil. I need another this good for cutting oil. Only problem, the pump piston was jammed on arrival and required some force and penetrating oil to free it. Works fine now. Check ball holds good pump is always ready to squirt

When I got it, I filled it with some Oatey Dark Cutting Oil. Squeezed the trigger a few times, and it started pumping the oil. Smooth. This is gonna be nice, because i used to just pour the cutting oil onto the drill bit in my press and wasn't always accurate.

I used to have one of these in the shop for years, and it disappeared. I finally decided to replace it, and I am glad I found this one. Made in USA. Very well made, I might add. Just about as good quality as the old one I had for years, if not a bit better finish. Works very well, can dispense a small amount of oil with precision, or shoot it about 12 feet (yeah, I'm that guy lol!).Highly recommended, especially if you want an "old school" USA made product!

like the little pump

This is one of several Goldenrod oil pumps I bought. And they all work well. I have had a couple other "imports" that I tossed after getting the Goldenrods. I don't put anything caustic in them and so far they are doing just fine. I use them for cutting fluids, bearing oils, tractor hyd fluid to clean actuators with, and heavy oil for assembly of parts. All work well.

What a huge disappointment. I bought this can to service the ball oilers on my lathes. I spent a little extra on the "American Made" version, thinking it would get me better quality. Boy, was I in for a surprise. I will say that the body is nicely finished and seems to be fairly well made. The pump mechanism appears to be decent quality as well. That's where the positives end, unfortunately. I filled it with oil and tried to service my lathe. The tip was too large to fit. So I tried a different one. Same thing. The tip is the wrong type to fit the ball oilers on any of my 3 lathes. Ok, no problem, the common approach to this is to use said lathe to turn down the tip to the correct profile. That's when I discovered that the tip is not made of brass as it should be, or even steel, but flimsy aluminum! Not even good, hard, aluminum. More like recycled beer cans. My smallest lathe chuck nearly crushed it with the minimum required holding pressure. I finally got it profiled to fit, and tried again. Guess what...the handle bent on the 3rd pump. Now I get maybe a half stroke, if that. I'm afraid to bend it back, for fear that it will break off entirely.Bottom line: this thing is poorly designed junk. Save a few bucks and get a cheap import version, which will suck in probably the same ways, but at least will be inexpensive, rather than just cheap. Alternatively, spend a bit more and get one with a real brass tip of the proper size. Speaking of which, it never says what tip size this thing has. The tip thread is 1/4-28 in case anyone else mangles theirs up and needs to make a replacement.I'd return it in a heartbeat, but since I've modified it, I'm sure that's no longer an option.

works well, does not tip over like the other styles
