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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Poor quality oil drain plugs

I purchased these after noticing several internal threaded connections in my car's oil pan had snapped. I knew the kit would be cheap given the price but then again this is for a racquet that will only get me to and from work and something cheap was all I needed. However, upon opening the kit, I decided not to use it. The faucet is made of very cheap steel and already has a layer of oxidation around the faucet's threads. While tapping a new thread into an aluminum pan will probably still work with this set, I got really tired of even using it with a whisk for fear it would turn into a bigger project if something went wrong. Instead I returned it and got a large $5 oil plug from NAPA that still holds with no leaks. I would recommend not buying this item but getting an oversized plug or an eco plug or if you have a car that you really care about then wind it up or install a new pan.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
