The Mystery Metal Can from the ‘70s and ‘80s

The Forgotten Workhorse of Home Repair

Back in the day, before we could grab a can of WD-40 and call it a day, these oil cans were the real MVPs. Whether it was a rusty chain on your banana-seat bike, a squeaky screen door, or a stiff lawnmower throttle, that hand-oiler was the answer.

It wasn’t flashy. There were no bells or whistles. But when you gave that trigger a gentle squeeze and heard the soft hiss of oil hitting its mark, you knew something was about to get a whole lot smoother. That sound? It was like a tiny victory drumroll.
