Reilang pump oil can

After some research, I just bought a Reilang Merkur R003-252 pump oilcan (made in Switzerland) directly from Jens Putzier Tools, a industrial hardware vendor in Germany. (Don't buy via Amazon - costs $20 more, for no reason.)

It is very well made and solid, unlike just about everything I've tried that's sold in the US, even things that cost almost as much as the Reilang. Everything except the seals is machined metal, the critical parts being brass. The central body is die-cast, machined as needed. Valves are steel ball bearings in brass seats. Spare parts are available from Haussmann.

This model (with the double pump) works upsidedown, which is essential for oiling my Clausing 5914 lathe. The only negative so far is that I will need to modify the tip nozzle (or add a brass bootie) to seal properly to the flat Gits 3/8" Style GB ball oiler.

I had been using a Goldenrod pump oiler with a flexible tube, and was never happy with it. It never fit the oilers well, and was forever requiring re-priming (because the valves all leak) and the spout kept unscrewing itself from the body.

Anyway, while the website is partly in German, they do have product details in English, and the website is a mixture, but isn't hard to figure out. Payment is in US dollars by PayPal, and delivery took a bit more than one week.
