I recently bought a "Micro die grinder" from HF:

For $9.99, what the hell! I just used it and it's really nice for
delicate work, where its super light weight makes it very easy to handle.

But, the purpose of this post is to ask about the oiler that came with
it:

At least, I assume that it's an oiler. I put oil in it and the oil
went into the grinder. Boy, did it ever - into & out of and all over
my hands! So what's the trick to using these things? Do they have to
be oriented a certain way? The included instructions did not even
mention the device.

Thanks,
Bob
I have one that looks just like that. I feed it oil down the air line at
the start and end of a session and it seems fine so far after about 6
years occasional use. I don't use it for extended use, maybe 5 minutes
at a time. I have some of the in line oilers as you have shown but
haven't gotten around to fitting them yet. I have a nice set of 10
assorted 1/8" carbide burrs that I use with it almost exclusively and
they are great except for the fine slivers you sometimes get in your
fingers.
