Drislide is amazing as is, but for those small crevices and impossible to reach areas, our needles are second to none! Each needle is hand made in the US and is a metal applicator that twists easily onto the top of any of our four ounce bottles.
Once the needle applicator has been attached to the 4oz spout-top bottle, you will be able to apply just a drip of Drislide to the smallest of applications. The needle applicator comes in particularly handy for lubricant cables on motorcycles, bicycles, ATV's, and any other equipment that has cables, whether in a cable sleeve or exposed.
With the way the needle is designed, you are able to place the tip of the needle in the opening of the cable sleeve. Then you squeeze the bottle just enough to allow the Drislide to work its way down the interior of the cable sleeve, letting gravity do the work. Lubricating the cable to the point of preventing freeze-up, snapping, rust, and corrosion, massively extending the life of the cable.
Our four ounce bottles and needles have been used for decades by motorcycle and bicycle shops across the nation. Any that use it, from Harley to Janus to countless others, have all raved about both the quality of the Drislide and the time saved with how easy it is to use. While the needle is entirely optional and the spout tops allow Drislide to work great right out of the bottle, the needle makes getting into the smallest areas a breeze.
Each needle comes with a small black rubber tip on the end as well, to keep the end of the needle safe and sound between applications. The black rubber tip should be placed back on the tip of the needle when not in use and prior to shaking the bottle, as leaving the needle open and exposed for too long will allow air to get down in the needle and can dry up any moly and lubricant inside the needle, causing a small clog.
Suggestions on unclogging the needle: Run warm water through the needle to loosen or free up any small or fresh clogs. For more stubborn clogs, allow to soak overnight in mineral spirits, rubbing alcohol, or a degreaser parts cleaner. After an overnight soaking, if available, blow air through the needle to clear it out. The use of a can of compressed air may help. We've been told that some have had success threading a thin string through the needle like a guitar string to push through and break up the clog, and have even had one customer use a piece of uncooked thin pasta to break up a clog!
