This is incredibly useful for fluid changes, but it does have a few design flaws. There is a bolt that holds the top section of drain pipe to the bottom section. When you're draining oil, some of it leaks out of the pipe around this bolt. Every single time I use it, I have to wipe down the outside of the pipe and base because there are always a few trickles of old oil running down the sides because of this design flaw. Also, having the hand crank transfer pump is super useful, but the plastic where the pump mounts is pretty weak so when you use the pump (which works perfectly fine) it wobbles around and sometimes the hand crank hits the top of the oil tank. If these two design flaws could be addressed, it would be a far better tool and definitely worth more stars. It works, but it feels as if corners were cut to meet a price and that makes it not a joy to use like many of my more expensive tools.

Love this thing. It stops us from making a mess on the floor
Way to go! We're happy to hear that.
Would be better if you supplied a plug for the drain hose on the hand pump
Great suggestion. We'll pass that on.
