Socket Funnel

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum stuff. I've been changing my oil myself for years, but my wife hated how it always stains the driveway and the "environmental" stuff.
I came with a new idea on making oil changes a little more "mess free" and more environmentally friendly for us DIYers.
Let me know your thoughts on this new funnel concept where a funnel supports a socket inside the funnel to remove the drain plug and to catch every drop of oil as soon as you remove the drain plug.
Check out our website: www.socketfunnel.com.
Thanks

Re: Socket Funnel

Lame. Extremely over-priced. The Communists will knock this off for $5 and sell 'em at Hazzard Fraught.

If this were made in USA or Canada for ten dollars instead of thirty, it might be worthwhile for some folks. (Not me.) I don't see this as useful AT ALL for changing oil--the funnel would need to be transparent so you could see to put the socket on the drain plug. And when the drain plug is at an angle, I think it's very likely that you'd make more mess with this funnel than by using a commonly-available drain pan of adequate diameter.

I've also got doubts about the strength of the square drive in terms of removing stiff plugs.
