Squeeze these bottles to dispense liquid.

Style B have a nozzle that folds flat into the lid.

Style F have a hinged nozzle that folds flat into the lid. Press the back of the nozzle to open.

Dispense adhesives, lubricants, and other liquids into hard-to-reach spots. These bottles have a long nozzle for accessing machine interiors and awkward angles.

When choosing a bottle, consider the size of the nozzle. The larger the nozzle ID, the more liquid you can dispense with each squeeze, which is helpful for viscous liquids. Nozzles with a smaller ID create a more focused stream at a higher pressure, which is good for rinsing surfaces and dislodging debris.

Aluminum nozzles are rigid, so you can accurately direct the spray. Plastic nozzles are flexible, so they’re easy to maneuver around obstacles. LDPE bottles are soft, flexible, and easy to squeeze. HDPE are less permeable than LDPE bottles, so they hold up better to oil or lubricant. They’re also more rigid, so they’re harder to squeeze.

Push-pull caps open and close easily with one hand to prevent accidental spills or drips.

Apply drops of liquid exactly where you need them. These bottles have slender tips for accurate dispensing. When choosing a bottle, consider the gauge of the needle. Use a higher-gauge needle with thin liquids, such as water or alcohol-based solutions. The smaller the opening, the more you can control the flow. Use a lower-gauge needle to avoid clogs when dispensing thick liquids, such as adhesives or paste fluxes.

Black bottles are opaque, so they block light that could cause contents to degrade.

Squeeze out liquids one drop at a time.

Sterilize liquids and dispense them—all from the same bottle. These squeeze bottles can be autoclaved with liquid inside and dispensed right away, so you skip the hassle of transferring between bottles. The lid has a tethered cap that snaps in place to avoid leaks. Uncap the nozzle before you autoclave these bottles.

Add a needle with a luer lock connection and squeeze to dispense a single drop or a stream of liquid.

Black bottles protect light-sensitive liquids from exposure.

There's no need to shake or thump these tubes like an old ketchup bottle—they stand on their cap to keep adhesives, sealants, and pastes right at the nozzle. The tapered shape lets you squeeze out every last drop. Made from plastic, they're tough enough to toss into your tool bag without worrying about them cracking.
