Product Review: Titan Precision Oiler \ Product number 15200

After simultaneously purchasing two (2) of these items (spare), both are being returned to the retailer. The named product was used with Break Free CLP (from aerosol). While we do understand the contents of the aerosol can is under pressure, we waited for said pressure to subside. Once the pressure had depleted, the Break Free CLP continued to leak.

At this point we thought the initial item was defective and immediately opened the spare package so that we could further investigate the leak within the first device; also, to see if the spare would leak or, if this is a design or quality control issue --across the board.

Before transferring the contents of Break Free CLP from one Titan Precision Oiler to the next, we visually inspected the inside of the spare oiler, this is what we found:

After removing the debris, we transferred the unpressurized leftover Break Free CLP from the initial and leaking Titan Precision Oiler to the newly opened (unused) spare Titan Precision Oiler; Break Free CLP continued to leak.

Items in ziplock bag due to leak(s).

Aside from the Leaks (plural), with regard to the word ‘precision’ as in 'the amount of oil dispensed' when applying Break Free CLP via this Titan Precision Oiler, too much of the Break Free CLP is allowed to egress.

We were left with the following impression:

Either the Titan Precision Oiler(s) we purchased are both defective or, Break Free CLP is just that damn good and will find its way to, and through, every seen/unseen crack and crevice.

P.S. The precision applicator provided by SafariLands’ Break Free CLP is not durable enough and too costly (period). Our current plan is to continue to use Break Free CLP on a lint-free patch and wipe the surface where needed; or use a tooth-pick. Updates to this are forth-coming once we receive a reply from the OEM. Hope this helps others not to waste time.

What is the purpose of this item and what are u using it for?

I used to buy a lot of things like this and have a bunch that don't work any more. gun parts just don't move that much

Perhaps to apply a measured amount of lubricant on a specific spot. If we could, we would use an actual syringe.

Agreed, the parts do not move so much, with the exception of the slide, however some lubricants do dry and/or runoff their intended application points and will need to be reapplied. In our case, foreign matter/debris may accumulate and help soak/dry/dissipate the applied lubrication. We did read quite a bit about this item, both reviews and marketing, not one written report of end-users experiencing leaks even when using Break Free CLP; our cocktail of choice.

Update: Returned to retailer who was kind enough to contact the OEM --to check if there was some compatibility concern with any particular lubricant; the OEM responded with a "NO"; replacement items due sometime on 12/06/2013.

Is this for oiling your guns or something else, that's what I was trying to figure out. Seems kind of over kill for oiling firearms, so I'm guessing it's for something else.

We picked-up the replacement items, evaluated them in the retailers parking-lot. Returned the items for a full refund, before leaving the parking-lot This device is not compatible when used in the following manner:

Break Free CLP: from aerosol, allow to settle (depressurize) in a cup then transfer to the Titan Precision Oiler end of story (review).

Kamkaze, this 'is' a Glock forum ... Usage: Yes, for firearms. This is something that would be useful to 'us' given our circumstances. Just thought we would share our findings with others who may have similar needs under similar circumstances.

 

[Kamkaze]

I know it's a glock forum yet there are plenty of things on here that do not pertain to glocks. I'm asking if it is for the simple process of oiling a gun or something more involved like machining parts etc. I'm trying to figure out what "your circumstances" are and what the use io them are.

... 'Yes' it is for the 'simple' process of lubricating a firearm with a precision amount of oil while traveling in, through and around some extreme and unstable environments. This thread was nothing more than sharing our experience about a particular item that others have stated they used for the same purpose (firearms), with little or no problems. The product was a complete failure for us.

 

[Kamkaze]

Ok that's all I was trying to find out thank you, I've just never seen anything like that before that's all. The old drop on each rail and any metal on metal points has always worked on my glocks, I just didn't realize there was a need for this.

Not sure anyone eluded to there being a 'need' for the item under review, but we have noticed, while using the pipettes (red extension tube) that accompany aerosol can's, the drop provided is too-much --should that drop (from the pipette) be applied to each of Glocks' suggested lubrication points. Sure, you can wipe of the excess, but that is not agreeable with us. We want to expose the lubrication points, apply a measured amount of lubrication, reassemble then back to making the donuts (work); minimal amount of time to do this while working.

Yeah I use the term need loosely, I could see this being useful if maintaining a large number of guns but for one it two it definately seems like overkill to me but to each their own.

Go visit your local vet supply store and you should be able to get all the syringes you want. They also sell the needles for them too.

My GF is trying to stop smoking and is now using those vapor electronic substitute things. She gets different flavor of fluids and they come in little bottles that have a needle type metal spout. I clean those out and put the lube of my choice in and it dispenses one drop at a time if that's what I want.
