Goldenrod 5in Rigid Spout Oiler

I cannot believe I am writing a review about an oiler can. I have grown up around mechanicing in the military, aviation and outdoors. I quickly learned that well lubricated equipment is more reliable, last longer, functions better, inhibits rust and corrosion, and is easy to clean. My life has depended on a well working rifle, aircraft or humvee before. Because of this I was always paying for basically Air in a Can with some WD-40. I went ahead and bought a gallon and tried cheap plastic spray bottles, but they crack in the sun and cannot take other solvents. Cut to the Chase: This oiler can is Made in America, is durable and small. Everything I need. It works great. I can apply a well controlled drop to just a folding pocket knife hinge or rifle bolt or spray a hard to reach nut and bolt combination to remove easily. The company offers many different models and a flexible application tube, but I went with just a short pipe. Has a nice, flat bottom that stand up great. Made of good, thick metal. Fits in a toil box easily. Simple to use and reliable. The price was excellent, especially for the quality. I know I'll save thousands of dollars in corrosion resistance and cans or aerosol WD-40 which is a little bit of WD-40 and AIR. Why pay for air? ONE CAN OF WD-40 COST MORE THEN ONE OF THESE OILERS which will last a lifetime. These will be used on a daily business at work and at home. Should have bought one years ago. This is such a solid item. A real must have if you are just beginning to get into mechanics or anything else. You'll save time from stripping bolts and wearing out hinges and rubber. Breaking bolts. or rusting stuff. One of the best buys I have made in a long time. Really happy with this.

These Goldenrod ”Oilers” Made in Hastings Nebraska, 68902 (USA) by a little company called Dutton and Lainson Company are the best thing since sliced bread! On par with the invention of beer! They are ”Made in USA!” And, this little Nebraska company should be a Fortune 100 Company in my book. They are a bastion of solid American production and will. Thank You! So, easily are our companies moved off shore. Yet, you weather the storm and drive on. Thank You! Keep it up and buy USA! I'm buying all their Oilers for my farm. All my out buildings and tractors have one with 30W American produced oil and I have unused ones of them on display in my antique and nick-nack room! They work well and are great! Every US household should have one with 30W for garage door lubrication and door hinges. Thank You Golden Rod! AA Paratrooper Dan!

What a great oiler! And what a rare pleasure it is to buy something made in America. It's just like the one I used decades ago, with not a bit of plastic on the thing to be found -- all metal, and it works exactly as it's supposed to. I have experienced no leaks as others have, but I should add a word of caution: there is a thin cork gasket between the reservoir and the pump. Be careful not to overtighten, or you run the risk of distorting the gasket.

The oiler is fine, but it is not this color. I wanted this color to distinguish it from my other oiler but it is painted black.

Goldenrod has been around many years, very reliable, very useful- I use these wherever I need a lube job- I wish they were made so I could use an interchangeable nozzle, I had to buy a special long nozzle oiler for one (!) fitting in my shop- I am sure they make the one piece nozzle because it is physically stronger but- surely they could make a nozzle extension ? but good nonetheless!

good quality

USA MADE and it works great.

It’s hard to like an item when you pay $20 each for the copper colored ones and the ones you receive are the $14 black cans. Feel like golden rod is trying to pull one over on people here to squeeze some extra profit. Well, unfortunately I won’t be testing these out, as we’ll be going straight back. Instead, I ordered a handful of Reilang cans from a vendor in Germany (Jens Putzier Tools). Yeah, they’re double the price but they’re top notch oilers and everything I have that’s Swiss made is top tier (including my welding hoods). And they only took 4 days to get here. Sorry, not sorry Golden Rod. You lost this customer.
