Description
The Balcrank 3330-159 DR Digital Metered Oil Control Handle is a professional-grade electronic fluid dispensing meter designed for automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, dealerships, heavy-equipment service centers, and industrial lubrication operations. Featuring a precision digital register, flexible memory extension, 1/4-turn manual oil nozzle, and ergonomic dispensing handle, this metered oil gun provides accurate fluid measurement and dependable dispensing control for demanding shop environments.
Part of Balcrank's advanced DR (Digital Register) Meter Series, the 3330-159 combines digital measurement technology with durable construction to help technicians dispense precise quantities of motor oil, synthetic lubricants, gear oil, hydraulic fluid, and other compatible service fluids.
The integrated digital register provides ±0.5% measurement accuracy for lubricating oils, helping service facilities maintain accurate fluid dispensing records and monitor lubricant consumption.
With an operating flow range of 0.26 to 8 gallons per minute (1–30 liters per minute) and a maximum working pressure of 1,450 PSI (100 bar), the Balcrank 3330-159 is designed for properly configured pneumatic oil pump systems, overhead lubrication hose reels, and centralized fluid distribution equipment.
One of its most practical features is the Balcrank 3332-093 Flex-Memory Extension, which allows technicians to position the dispensing nozzle for improved access to engine oil fill ports, gearboxes, hydraulic reservoirs, and other service locations.
The included 1/4-turn manual oil tip, featuring an approximately 0.705-inch outside diameter, provides convenient nozzle operation and positive manual control over the dispensing outlet.
Unlike automatic-tip models, this configuration allows technicians to manually open and close the nozzle using the quarter-turn mechanism.
The digital meter also includes a resettable trip register and non-resettable lifetime totalizer, allowing technicians to monitor individual fluid dispensing transactions while retaining a cumulative measurement of total fluid usage.
Its electronic display supports gallons, quarts, pints, and liters, with measurements displayed in 0.01-unit increments.
Powered by two standard AAA alkaline batteries, the Balcrank DR meter features low power consumption, automatic sleep functionality, and a sealed battery compartment to support convenient everyday operation.
The durable fluid chamber, ergonomic control handle, and 1/2-inch NPT female swivel inlet make the Balcrank 3330-159 a practical choice for professional oil dispensing systems.
Whether you're replacing a worn digital oil meter, upgrading an overhead lubrication reel, or installing a new bulk oil dispensing station, the Balcrank 3330-159 DR Digital Metered Oil Handle provides precise measurement, flexible nozzle positioning, and professional dispensing performance.
Important: Part 3330-159 includes the Flex-Memory Extension with 1/4-Turn Manual Oil Tip, not an automatic shutoff tip. For applications requiring a dedicated smaller-diameter ATF nozzle, Balcrank offers model 3330-172.

Why Choose the Balcrank DR Digital Metered Oil Handle?
Precision Digital Fluid Measurement
The Balcrank 3330-159 provides accurate electronic measurement for lubricating oils, helping technicians verify the quantity dispensed during maintenance operations.
Its ±0.5% accuracy rating supports consistent fluid measurement when used within the manufacturer's operating conditions.
Flexible Memory Extension
The Flex-Memory extension allows improved nozzle positioning compared with a traditional rigid dispensing tube.
This makes it particularly convenient for engine compartments, recessed fill ports, and other service locations where a straight nozzle may be difficult to position.
Convenient 1/4-Turn Manual Nozzle
The quarter-turn nozzle provides straightforward manual control at the dispensing tip.
Technicians can open the nozzle for fluid delivery and close it when the dispensing operation is complete, helping reduce unwanted dripping.
Resettable Trip Meter and Lifetime Totalizer
The digital display supports both individual transaction tracking and cumulative dispensing records.
The trip register can be reset between service operations, while the non-resettable totalizer maintains a running record of the meter's total dispensed volume.
Battery-Powered Convenience
Two standard AAA alkaline batteries power the digital register, eliminating the need for external electrical wiring to operate the meter display.
The automatic sleep feature helps conserve battery power when the meter is not actively being used.
Professional Lubrication System Integration
With its 1/2-inch NPT female swivel inlet and 1,450 PSI maximum working pressure, the 3330-159 can be integrated into appropriately rated Balcrank pneumatic oil pump and hose reel systems.

The Balcrank 3330-159 is designed for users who need a flexible memory extension and manual oil dispensing nozzle.
For applications requiring a smaller-diameter ATF nozzle, Balcrank lists 3330-172 with a 0.315-inch outside-diameter manual ATF tip.
Fluid Compatibility and Nozzle Selection
Balcrank lists the DR meter series for compatible synthetic and mineral-based lubricants, gear oil, hydraulic fluids, automatic transmission fluid, and glycol-based antifreeze solutions.
However, fluid compatibility and nozzle suitability are separate considerations.
The 3330-159 includes an oil nozzle with an outside diameter of approximately 0.705 inches. This nozzle may be too large for certain transmission fill openings.
For dedicated ATF dispensing, check whether the Balcrank 3330-172 with the smaller ATF nozzle is more appropriate.
Important: DR-series dispensing extensions are not necessarily interchangeable with conventional Balcrank meter extensions. Confirm the correct replacement extension and nozzle assembly before ordering accessories.
