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.

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.
