   I have an oil can that I use on the lathe and the mill. Made of a tuna   
   can with the lid soldered back on. It has a hole drilled in the center   
   big enough to allow a small hobby brush to reach the bottom of the can.   
   Soldered into the hole is a small piece of copper tube long enough to   
   penetrate to about half way into the can. The tube protrudes about a   
   half inch above the surface of the lid. If the can is filled only to   
   about 3/8 of total depth, it will not leak all over if upended. The   
   brush would be able to dispense a drop or two into an air tool.   
   YMMV
