The long spout seems like a good idea, but actually using it is a frustrating mess. The long tube (spout) is not stiff enough to accurately place in hard-to-reach machine oiling spots. It flops around, defeating the purpose of having a long spout. You then have to hold the spout in place with your fingers and oil WILL get on your hands. I'm sorry I bought it. Two stars because I was able to decant the oil into a container with a much better long-tipped METAL spout.
