This oiler has been very helpful, and seems to be well-made. No oil has leaked out of anywhere, so as long as I mind the tip and pump lever I can store it on any surface without worry of oil drip. The pump is precise enough that I can dispense any small or large amount of oil I want with ease. The flexible spot is helpful for getting into tight spaces, but like any of that style flex shaft it does not perfectly hold the position, so guiding with your other hand is recommended. I would buy this again if I needed another type of oil to dispense.
