I bought this for the sole purpose of being able to pour motor oil in both my commercial mowers and my vehicles without using either a funnel, and also being able to solve certain measurement issues when using bulk oil. This product solves both of these problems.
The see through property and graduations on the side help control oil amounts and the flexible spout allows for easy, drip-free application. The only thing I am going to do is color the measurements on the side with magic marker to make the easier to read. Other than that, it works great. One thing I would like to see the manufacturer do, is make some sort of cover and cap for it to help keep out dust and dirt between uses.
UPDATE: 1/11/2011-Last month, the spout broke clean off where it attaches to the canister. The break was caused by the plastic breaking down. The unit was never abused or dropped. The fact that the plastic deteriorated in this short of time means the plastic used will not hold up over time.
