Hello all
 Ideas for smallish oil-can which can be in a toolbox?
- mustn't leak all over
- smallish and light
- can deliver a few drips of oil down air-tool inlet
Thinking of those "popper" oil-cans - small disks.  But how to seal
stem / spout?
 Ideas?

In a toolbox...
I have never needed to carry an oil can in my tool box, but I think I still favor the small plastic squeeze bottle with a metal needle dripper/applicator.  It occurred to me that it might be useful to create a space int he tool box to protect it.  If using a sheet metal box fold a small sheet metal compartment just the right size,and rivet it to the inside of the box.  If using a canvas tool"box" sew in a compartment for it, and drop a hard plastic cup in the compartment.  The idea is that unless you completely dump the box upside down the oil applicator bottle is protected from being crushed by other tools in the container.
