    Oil Drain tool

    Figured this would be good for getting oil round V&H pipes etc....

    Not tried one though.

    I like it!

    Looks like it's available at NAPA and several other online places, but there is no mention of price.

    EDIT: Found it at NAPA for $25.

        at first i was thinking... well thats dumb... I can use a sheet of plastic to do the same... Then i realized it holds its shape, pretty cool. Not worth 25 bucks though.

          Yes a bit pricey for my liking... $9.99 would have been a good pricepoint for it.

            I agree--useful but overpriced--give it 6 months and it will be copied and available at your local walmart [aka; china town] for less than half!

              It will have to be cheaper than the piece of foil it replaces for me to buy it.

                I use a 1 liter soda bottle. Just cut the bottom out at an angle. I punched a hole in it so I could use a piece of tie wire to hold it in place. If you can find the wide mouth bottles, they work best.

                  Holy crapamoley, that's cool.

                  $25 is just stoopit expensive, though.

                  It's $30 at Griot's Garage. Plus shipping.

                  Hmmm...
