The needle nose bottles are so useful I use them for a lot of production dispensing jobs. McMaster-Carr (just punch it into google) sells many varieties on their web site, but they cost $3.28, empty. The oil must be free. Probably why Hetman is changing their packaging. McMaster also sells dispensing needles in all sizes, and these often mate perfectly with the dropper nose bottles most oils come in. Since McMaster-Carr will now ship to residential customers using a credit card, I've gotten into the habit of keeping an order building on the web site of all the little hardware things I'd usually run all over town looking for, and usually never finding. When I need something in a hurry, I send in the order and it shows up the next day, UPS, at the ground shipping rate. Otherwise I can claim the parts are on order. They aren't the very lowest price, but surprisingly low on a lot of items, and they sell exotic things in single quantities you can't find anywhere else. Everything they sell is professional quality. My wife bought a broom from them, nothing fancy, but it lasts and lasts. Their buyers really know good value. If you're not familiar with McMaster-Carr, check them out.
