The other thing I thought might be handy to have around the shop would be one of the old fashioned, pump-operated oil squirt cans, reserved for hydraulic fluid. There were several times when I cursed the bastard who designed and located our brake fluid reservoir as I filled it with a 100cc hypodermic syringe... Its only redeeming quality is the 1/8 NPT thread on the plug, so you can cobble up a hose fitting to it!
