Sometimes you can get enough pressure out of an ordinary pump gun to push the spring back by sealing the nozzle to the surround with a piece of clean cloth laid between the nozzle and nipple. The oil will pump through a layer or two of not too thick cloth quite easily. Bit out of an old sheet or last stop for an old hanky perhaps.

I've seen schemes for complicated nozzles to use on ball oilers with an O ring seal on the outer sleeve and a pusher in the middle to move the ball back. Oil flows between outer sleeve and pusher.

If you don't mind taking the time to make something plans for the American style Eagle oilers can be found on the internet and also in a back issue of either ME or MEW. Doesn't look particularly difficult to make and, if carefully done, probably better than anything at an affordable price.

On my "to do" list with a selection of shaped output pipes to easily reach my hard to get at oiler selection.

Look at the Wanner telescopic hand guns. They work very well and have ends/adapters to suit most of the various oil/grease nipples that exist.

I use three of them for grease, way lube and bearing lube.
