Non-Leak Oil Can

[Omnimill]

Does anyone know of a non-leak oil can available in the UK? I've had a number of them over the years and they've all been prone to leaving a puddle of oil after use. I know the Reilang are supposed to be good but do I really have to spend £25.00 on an oil can to get one that does'nt leak?

Isn't that what they call an oxymoron? :big: :big:
But seriously,although I don't own a Reilang,and probably never will,they do appear to have an excellent reputation.Ya pays yer money..........

I own a couple of IIRC eagle brand made in USA they tend to dribble. One for way oil and one for spindle oil. I have an old bread pan from the kitchen I store them in I put a couple of shop grade paper towels in the bottom to catch the oil . IRRC I paid about $10 each for them so not cheapies.

Update: I remembered my new Mill came with an oil can so I gave it a good look and it seems fairly well made apart from the neck of the container.
I've carefully flattened the neck to ensure a good seal and it's not leaking yet! woohoo1 It had a label with some Chinese looking writing on it - no idea what it says - maybe it's "super non-leak Oil Can" Rof}

Worse yet are the pump type that tip over on the bench when you bump them. If they sit tipped long enough they leak too.

HI as regards a non leak oil can if you look at my post of my work shop you will see 2 of my oil cans the red one is fit ed with a flex feed pipe the trick to stop it from dripping after i have yous it is to turn the feed pipe up so the oil drains back in to the can the 2 oil can has bin modified to stop it from bin conked over i made a larger Base out of sum brass plate and soldered it to the bottom of the can it gnaw never gets knocked over
