Title: Good Oil Rendered Useless by Marketing Gimmick
Product review: I've used 3-in-1 oil since 1955. It's a good product but this container with its telescoping spout is a bad idea. I'm not sure why it telescopes, since my arms works pretty well in that regard, but the real difficulty is with the shut-off nozzle at the tip. If you touch the tip to the item you're oiling, it depresses the shut-off valve, defeating the purpose of the dispenser. If you're doing something like oiling a bicycle chain you need three hands - one to rotate the chain, one to hold and squeeze the oil container, and third to keep the tip from retracting. The original metal can is much easier to use. I will continue to use 3-in-1 oil but will not purchase it in this container.
