What it isA tool in its own right
Bench jobWorking on the movement

A drop of watch oil belongs in the jewel cup, not smeared across the plate. We shape the spade on this medium oiler to lift a measured charge from your oil cup and let it transfer the moment the tip touches the pivot. The blue handle identifies the tip size across your bench at a glance.

Medium tip profile

The metal tip is formed to hold a droplet by surface tension until you touch down inside the setting. It releases cleanly. That keeps the lubricant centered on the friction point rather than trailing across bridge surfaces.

Handle and color coding

We mold the body in blue to distinguish this medium size from the finer and broader points on your rack. The hexagonal shoulders stop the tool from rolling away when you set it down between jewels.

Protective plastic cap

A slip-on cap covers the tip when the tool rests in your drawer or bench stand. Keeping the point covered keeps stray dust and bench lint off the metal before you dip into fresh lubricant.

Cleaning between drops

Wipe the point through elder pith or dry pith wood between movements to clear old residue. A clean tip picks up an even quantity of oil every time you dip into the well.

Oilers, cups and how much goes on

Why oilers come in graded sizes, what an oil cup with a lid is for, why the oil is picked up from the cup and not from the bottle, how a jewel takes a drop, and how oilers are cleaned between grades.
