Totally agree - I didn't like my chances with taking something like a traditional tuning slide grease that you apply with your fingers, applying to threads, and somehow avoiding getting grease on the piston itself. The Bach slide grease-in-a-bottle was ok, but even then, by aiming low on the threads, some grease came out when I was tightening the threads. The needlepoint oiler in my mind is perfect for an operation like this.
