The base of that tells me it's a grease gun - liquid will fall out
won't it?


It has a proper seal in the barrel, and when I tried it, no
oil came out at either of the barrel joints. But I intend to hang it up
where it will be safe if it drips while unused. As there will be long
periods between uses, I may well empty it of oil each time.

Amazon do returns don't they?


Yep, but if I find nothing else within 30 days that is better, I'll
keep this, even if I have to use my old solid tube instead of the flex.

looks more like an oil gun to me. Though it looks too cheap to be any
good.

No chance, it doesn't have the power that a real gun provides. I want
one that fits on a grease nipple just like a grease gun, but pumps
heavy oil instead of grease. I already have a simple oil can, but that
is no way any good for this.
