[Titan precision oiler] (http://www.amazon.com/Titan-15200-Precision-Oiler/dp/B002LYQALQ). A impact near the front of my driver's side door means the hinge gets squeaky after a while. So, I need to give it a shot. I put the oiler in one of the pen pockets in my bag to take to the car with the intention of leaving it there. But, I've ended up needing it often enough elsewhere that I just keep it in the bag.
I also have a measuring tape in the bag. So, that's slightly less unusual. Sometimes, I'm thrifting or at the fabric store with my kid. Or, I have a small 8' Stanley [tape measure] (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Stanley-Tape-Measure-8-Leverlock-30-534-Made-in-U-S-A-NEW-SEALED-/151509455775?pt=US_Measuring_Layout_Tools&hash=item2346aad39f) on my belt if I'm doing that kind of work.
I have this precision Oiler pen and it’s fantastic. Has never leaked and is super compact.
Let me know if you find a food-safe one. I've considered doing the same thing with a precision oiler. In the meantime, a big syringe with a blunt needle (get them as medicine applicators from farm stores like Co-op) works well for me--they're cheap and I already have a few on-hand for filling fountain pens.
In case you're curious
Like Mr. Throws and Brews, I subscribe to the theory of "one drop of thin lube" as soon as you get a throw.

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR! Lubing your yoyo bearing is essential. Smoother, quieter. Raw metal on metal contact without lube doesn't work for engines, and does not work for bearings either. Rubbing steel on bare steel isn't awesome. Rust isn't awesome. Unlubricated bearing vibe isn't awesome. Eventually locking up your bearing isn't awesome.
However, it is definitely true all you need is a teeny-tiny amount of THIN ONLY lube. Definitely don't use more than one drop! Don't obsess over the particular size of that one drop, but do limit yourself to one.
After the one drop of thin lube, I then spin the bearing around with my finger, both directions a few times.. you should get 6 seconds (more is better but not required) of spin otherwise you're gona have some responsiveness. Just after you lube, you will not have that, but wait, here it comes.. next, use compressed air to push the bearing around at super hyper speed, this breaks it in (think of it as hours of hardcore yoyo play elapsing in seconds), while also pushing out any extra oil. Have a tissue handy to wipe away that excess.
This one drop of thin lube plus compressed air megaspin technique works brilliantly for me, and all my throws are suuuper smooth. Cheers!
