Default 3 in 1 oil sucks

I just had another plastic "can" of 3 in 1 oil explode all over the place
when trying to get the ****ty plastic red cap off.

The entire red top came off, not the small cap. This isn't the first time.

Their oil can "looking" plastic containers are utter **** as well. They
leak when you don't want them to, and when you need oil, basically nothing
comes out.

The garbage packaging is why I will no longer but this stuff.

so, who still sells oil in metal cans these days, even it has to be mail
ordered?


Gun oil comes in little leak-proof plastic bottles with good dispensing
dropper.


Good call.

For whatever reason it never crossed my mind to use gun oil. I haven't
even broken the seals on all the bottles of that stuff I've accumulated
that come with any new gun. I just use teflon-ish oils and greases on
everything.
