In a toolbox...

I have never needed to carry an oil can in my tool box, but I think I 
still favor the small plastic squeeze bottle with a metal needle 
dripper/applicator.  It occurred to me that it might be useful to create 
a space int he tool box to protect it.  If using a sheet metal box fold 
a small sheet metal compartment just the right size,and rivet it to the 
inside of the box.  If using a canvas tool"box" sew in a compartment for 
it, and drop a hard plastic cup in the compartment.  The idea is that 
unless you completely dump the box upside down the oil applicator bottle 
is protected from being crushed by other tools in the container.
