Guess the tool
 

Just bought this today.
Maybe common to many...I had never used one.
The shank is flexible.

Magnetic picker-upper ?

Or.... how brave are you?

^^^ Nope...but on the right track.

Oil Drain plug removal tool.

^^^ Yep...loosen the plug a turn with a wrench and get the magnetic end near the plug.
Turn it out without getting hot oil running down your hand or having to fish it out of the drain pan. :)

OK, I like that. Where'd you get it? Got a link to share with us?

No problem...

Fumoto no worko with my Civic SI
There's a removable pan under the oil pan. :)

I have them on both cars shown below....love them, they work great.

Another tool I’ve bought because of you guys!

I gota get one now. Should have picked one up about 10 burnt fingers ago.

Ah. Late in life I find out such a thing exists.

Clever tool!

Have you tried it yet?

i will give it a shot. just bought one.

waste of money cause you'll still have the drip from the oil filter on a wasserpumping flat 6

Nope..just got it. Here's a video where I first saw it.

Nope! Not for me. I like getting hot oil all over my hands. I like the challenge of trying to remove the drain plug without getting oil all over my hands. Makes the day more interesting!

agree smelling like hot oil is what being a man is all about

Hot oil and exhaust fumes... aka Man cologne.

is that like a Millenial Mechanic?
All positive and upbeat and not grumpy or anything, more petroleum in his hair then on his hands and clothes?


Wouldn't let him touch my cayman even if he paid me for it!!
