Oil applicator

[Rebel Ian]

Anyone know where I can buy (in a shop rather than over t'internet) an oil applicator pen?

I've just bought some decent chain oil although the bottle has a nozzle that you just cut the tip off. This means it'll all come out too fast and also has no means of re-sealing it.

Thanks, Ian.

I've been after one myself for a long time and gave up, maybe not trying hard enough, but see plenty in "How too videos etc" but all the LBS I visit do not have them.

Anyway, what I use now and more than happy with as I have more control with were the oil actually goes and probably better than an applicator, is a small modelling paintbrush. All I do is pour some oil into the cap of the oil container, dip the tip of the brush into the oil, and carefully paint it onto the parts I need to lubricate. When I've finished, the surplus in the cap, I just use the brush to mop it up with and put back into the bottle.

I have seen them for sale in Model shops; especially those that do an extensive range of radio controlled models.

You may also find them for sale on-line at the nipple shop; My link

Dip a screwdriver into it and let it drip on each roller.

I use a ProGold Luber - don't know of a shop but you can get them online e.g. Luber
They come filled with Prolink which I would recommend highly. You could always use a hypodermic syringe and needle - I use one to feed oil into my freehub. Available from Boots?? or your local vet's maybe?
