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

Its only redeeming quality is the 1/8 NPT thread on the plug, so
you can cobble up a hose fitting to it!
