PRECISION OILER

NOVEMBER 2009 // Issue #41

Hypodermic needles can become a useful tool when converted to an oiler. Grind off the sharp needle until the point is no longer sharp. Then, simply suck up the oil, and apply a small drop to the areas needing lubrication. Replace the cap on the syringe, and you have a small, portable oiler that you can throw in your toolbox.
