[TR] Oil Dispensing Gun

Bill, 


Mine is manual (you have to pump it) and it works with Valvoline 75w-90 gear oil. As someone else noted, it leaks a bot, but nowhere near as badly as putting oil in a grease gun. I tried that and still have the garage floor stains to prove it. As I said, though, what I have is similar to what is on ebay today, I'm not sure if there are small differences that would affect performance.

Do you hand pump it or does it connect to an air line? Do you suppose it will handle gear lube?

I think mine also came with a flexible hose I can use in place of the rigid tube on the end, but I wouldn't swear to it. Maybe this will even allow you to unscrew the tube at the knurled ring in the photo and add your own flexible hose from a grease gun . http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Pressure-Oil-Can-Gun-Pump-Spout-New-Tools-Grease-/120863445792?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2405d320#ht_2933wt_903

Where can I find an oil dispensing gun with a standard grease fitting at a reasonable price, like under $30, if such a thing exists. McMaster-Carr has them at $68 and up. Is that the going price? As suggested in previous discussions on this List, I've tried the local boat dealer, only to be told that such a thing does not exist.
