The 99 cent oil plug wrench?
Hi All,
Here's a great way to get out those pesky oil drain plugs on the
cheap...
1) Get a piece of 5/16 key stock (available at most hardware or auto
parts stores for around a buck).
2) Hacksaw a 1" piece off of one end
3) Insert this end into a 3/8" 12-point socket. It fits perfectly. I
used an old one and permanently epoxied it in, but you can use any
socket and insert and remove it easily.
Then just use the socket to get the plug out. Simple, and way cheap.
Use the rest of the keystock to make a dozen or so adapters for
friends! =)
