You can put an oiler at the tool itself:

Just remember to fill it every 3 months or so.

This is the sort I use, I have a male quick connect coupler on one end
and a female on the other. My air tools all have short whip hoses, all
the instructions say not to directly connect fittings right to the
tool. This way I can use the same hose for air tools as for spray
painting with no oil contamination. If I need a little more
flexibility, I can just add oil directly to the tool whip and skip
attaching the oiler. You have to be careful with what oilers you do
buy, some of the sort that HF carries leak, badly. Other brands that
look identical, don't.

Where do you buy those whip hoses?

I've seen 'em at Sears and WalMart. I have one of those in-line
plastic oilers like the link above lying around but never liked it--put
out way too much oil for continuous use.
So, I had an old QC that the balls fell out of (abused badly) and I
mounted the overactive oiler to the wall, stuck on that QC, and when I
needed to oil an air tool I just held the trigger and pushed it into the
broken QC for a couple of seconds. The rush of oily air lubed
everything and blew through any crud that might have gotten in there.
Worked very well.
If you do that, mount the QC either horizontally or even pointed down
a bit so dust doesn't collect in it.
