My throttle keeps sticking open and is really annoying me now so have decided to get a cable oiler.

I have seen the manual type but would rather buy a better one as it would be usefull in the bodyshop from time to time.

I have found this on ebay, has anybody used them and are they any good?

I've got one & it's not that great in my experience. I've also got one like eBay item 300721901269 & I use that a lot more.

Are you sure it's the cable sticky & not dodgy routing?

I have one exactly the same that I bought about twenty years ago, it's excellent, far better than the aerosol type.
I've replaced the rubber seal a couple of times with a home made one, and also I made a smaller seal to fit narrower cables, recommended.
