I love that little In Line Lubricator Bro very nice for the life of your tools :)
Very useful video. Why do i have to refill the oil everytime im using my tool?
Useful video, thanks for that.

Welcome aboard Daniel
Next video is this weekend
just put a fitting each end of the oiler then plug into any tool your using "one oiler fits all" :)
Very clever idea Simon, I'll have to try that
Certainly would make the tool less bulky
Nice video. Is it necessary to buy this oiler for each tool? Would it still work if I attach it on the end of my hose behind the coupler so that I may use the same oiler for all attachments? Thanks
You would be fine if you use the same oiler and just put the connections accordingly for convenience. Just keep it topped up.
3:20 It's actually the wrong way to wind the tape :) But nevermind it works both ways... much more important is the right quantity of it.
...but at 4:53 you got it right :)
Well yes, but it's not that important, I mentioned it just for fun :) First you are like unscrewing the thread, the second time you are screwing the detail in, which is correct. If unsure, hold the piece in your hand and rotate it as if screwing it in. The tape will unwind or tighten respectively...
I just received a handful of these little oilers. The main purpose I ordered them was for stationary, infrequently used tools that are difficult to oil manually. For example, my 20 ton hydraulic shop press has a pneumatic motor. I recently added a foot pedal to it, which is great because now I can work with both hands on my workpiece, but now, oiling it before each use has become stupid complicated.
I was wondering how well these oilers are working for you, and whether you think they would be as effective mounted horizontally, as opposed to vertically, as you have them attached to your tool. Any thoughts you could share would of course be greatly appreciated. If these will work well for my application, it will save me the aggravation of installing a more complicated oiler permanently for individual applications.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
Steve Feldman to be honest and I'm not sure if the problem is the model, the one I installed on the air Punch keeps leaking unless I put it on in a way that the screw faces up... Otherwise it leaks through the screw. During tool usage it's ok, but if I don't store it right I'll end up with a mess and wasted oil.
I haven't connected any of mine yet, nor even removed the fill screw to add oil. So you believe there is oil seepage at the filler screw? If oil can seep, surely, pressurized air should be leaking past those threads, unless of course pressurizing the unit completes a seal that is inadequate in ambient, or equalized pressure...
I'm actually interested now in putting one of these between two pieces of hose, pressurizing it and submerging it in water to see if there are bubbles...
These are the devices I currently have to work with. I'm curious, do you believe that if I were to install one of these, horizontally, fixed to my air motor, with the filler hole straight up, which was my intention, that oil seepage shouldn't be a problem for me? It will be rigidly mounted horizontally, screw hole up, on a stationary press. The only times the oiler would be disturbed would be by applying air pressure to it during use, or by removing the filler screw to add oil.
Since these are what I have, chances are I'll just go ahead and connect it this way. I was expecting it to work, now I'm wondering if I should expect an oily mess on my press.
Thank you BTW, for giving me honest feedback on these devices. I'm particular about how I handle my hoses, so I don't have a centralized auto oiling system. I've always just oiled everything before, and during heavy use. My interest in these was prompted specifically by oiling complications I created with recent modifications to my press. I suppose, I'm looking for an easy fix to something I just fixed... :)
Steve
Steve Feldman definitely there may be air leakage but this is to be expected, I'm semi happy with mine as I can go all day but would have preferred to be without the mess. It may just be a defect for that specific unit as well.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out, especially if you do end up doing the water test.
Well, I set up my water test in a less complicated fashion than mentioned before. I attached a 3/8" Milton G style male coupler going in, and a female going out. I filled a clear glass vase, 10" tall, round, with a 6" diameter, 3/4 of the way with water. I attached my 3 piece test component to a compressor connected air hose, regulated to 100 psi, then completely submerged it in the vase.
The oiler I'm testing is dry, and has not yet had the screw for the fill hole removed. I watched it for 10 minutes, and there was not a single bubble of air coming from the fill hole.
Shamefully, the test rig is bubbling from both coupled ends. I used PTFE tape, and yes, I did wind them in the proper direction. The female coupler is brass, and exhibits the less air leakage of the two. The mail fitting is cold steel. I disassembled and retaped it twice at both ends with a few additional wraps of tape and noticed only a mild improvement.
If I were to make a video, I'd lose the PTFE and seal it with the crazy joint sealer I use on stainless to stainless connections.
I ordered these things from China directly. They have no brand, just barcoded labels that read "P36148 GS00254", and in the description, the material listed for the metal portions is "zinc alloy". It's gold in color, which I'd first assumed was brass. Still, my experience with zinc alloy's, have always been aluminum based, and have been reasonably soft. The threads on the oiler don't seem to budge, leading me to believe the material is harder than brass and mild steel.
I used the PTFE tape for the experiment because frankly, I have no immediate use for an oiler in that configuration, and it was to be a temporary "test only" setup for the oiler I'll install on my press.
The test shows me, at the very least, that the oiler I connected is at least not leaking before I removed the filler screw...
I just pulled it out of the water, dried it off and removed the filler screw, using a #2 Phillips head screw driver. Notably, it was quite loose, requiring practically no strength at all to remove it. There is no tape on the screws threads, however, there is a white o-ring, which remained in the clear body of the oiler as I removed the screw. Since I found it loose, I only sinched it back down with minimal pressure. I reconnected it and submerged it once again. Fortunately, there is still no air leaking from the fill hole.
Since the only leaks I am seeing are from the two interfaces I attached, I'll use this specific oiler from the bunch, but will use the semi-hardening liquid sealant I used for all my stainless connections in the garage.
Are you quite sure your oil mess is coming from the fill hole on your oiler? You're using PTFE tape as I did on both ends, is it possible the oil could be leaking past the threads on your fitting or tool? I'm only asking because I'm not at all happy with the fitting connections. By design, there shouldn't be much oil getting to the threads at either end. There is only one small orifice in the metal body near the female threaded end, acting as a venturi that should grab only a mild mist of oil. The orifice appears to be a threaded hex head set screw with a hole in it's center. The design indicates that the orifice can be moved in either direction to adjust how much oil is picked up by the passing air.
The brass portion would have to be unthreaded from the high impact resistant clear body, which is sealed with O-rings at either end. I'll to a spray test with oil in it, using it's currently defective configuration and an air blower, against a piece of cardboard to see what kind of volume and pattern I'm getting from it before I permanently plumb it in the air motor of my press. Once that stuff sets up, I don't ever like to undo those connections.
Just for piece of mind, if you're not absolutely certain your oiler is leaking from the fill hole, I recommend removing it from your nail remover and putting a female coupler on. If it leaks where mine does, I guess that's on you, as my leaks are on me :) If you can at least remove the fill hole as the culprit, then you could definitely find a better, more permanent means of sealing those threads. I'll try to grab the jar of stuff I use the next time I'm over at the garage so I can at least give you the product name, the brand, and it's chemical composition. That stuff was given to me by a friend who used to do stainless pipes for hospitals, and it works great!
Oh, before I leave, I just wanted to wish you a merry christmas!
Steve
+Steve Feldman Merry Christmas to you too Steve
I'm thinking that the first thing I should double check with the device is that the o-ring is indeed there. It would be lack of thoroughness on my end but I have this small instinctive tug to check. I know the couplings will leak a bit of air which I'm ok with the loss. I think that in your case reducing air loss is a bit more critical than for me. I'm 100% sure it leaks from the screw as I left the gun on the workbench and the oil dripping were very localised and immediately under the screw which at the time was upside down given how the gun was put down. I was have also overcrushed the o-ring when I tightened it. Things to check. I haven't used the tool since I shot the video as I don't have electricity in my garage yet, nor heat and it's-25 to -30 here these days in Canada. I've learned this stuff from my pallet tools and am far from being an expert, learning ever day. What do you use the press for?
Could do with one of those for my Brad nailer it keeps sticking
Cheers
Tim from Wood 4 Nothing
I got 2 for $0.89 each
So I tried it, live it other than I find hose is more in the way
@@TheWoodenRider cheers for that might look on eBay see if I can get some ,don't know if my Brad nailer is knackered or it may want a good oiling
Cheers
If you don't oil them consistently the cold air will eventually cause rust and/or metal friction
Either could cause a job
@@TheWoodenRider I actually got it with a second hand compressor I bought so I'll have look and if so I'll get another nail gun.
Cheers
@@TheWoodenRider that detailer is a good piece of kit to have .
yeah I bought one of these, the thing puts way to much oil in the tools
Check if the rubber seal in the hole to fill is properly seated. If there is a gap it will have that effect. If you don’t have a seal then that’s likely the problem.
@@TheWoodenRider I thought of that. might have over tightened it, tearing the little rubber thingy
I’m curious to know the outcome
Let me know
@@TheWoodenRider we ended up putting an oiler and water trap (separate line) set up on the air compressor
So problem solved?
I do have a water trap on the out of the compressor, never realized it would help in this scenario
