and it takes a lot of squeezing to get steam oil out of the needle oilers when filling a lubricator, so I really need to give these a try...

That is very true, especially if it is 680 grade.  ::) ;D

I normally have a big squeezy bottle or oil can to fill my lubricators up with, however i do want to try one of these oil pens.

I have this aluminum pen oiler and I like it very much. I also purchased a few of the oilers in plastic tubes, but they were NOS from a Phillips 66 gas station and the plastic turned out to be brittle and I shattered two of them with my big clumsy hands, lol.

If any of you are interested in old things, and you probably are, look for the antique "bicycle pocket oiler" on the auction site. I have a few and they are really nice to use when playing with a steam engine. ;)
