Review on Top-Quality M15 x 1.5MM Oil Drain Plug Tap Thread Repair Kit: Essential Rethreading Tool for Oil Pan Screws by Gabe Evans

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Only buy if you are an expert

Reading other Revain reviews it seemed simple and easy to install. Boy was I wrong. Background: I change the oil myself, I know a little about the car. I was completely unprepared for how difficult it would be to drill a new oil pan hole. I bought a faucet unplugging tool at the hardware store, but when I was under the car (using my ramps to change the oil) I found it extremely difficult to unplug the faucet straight. So maybe I shouldn't review the product as I don't know if it works because I gave up after an hour of trying to drill a new hole. Instead, I should look at the reviews that said it wasn't that hard. My tip: Don't even try it yourself if you're not an expert. My car is currently in a shop and I am estimating it will cost me $200.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
