The thing is great!

I bought this to prevent oil from getting into the engine case while changing the oil filter on my boat's outboard motor. As many of you may have noticed the position of the filter is such that once the filter was removed there was no way to prevent oil from entering the housing until I used this flexible funnel. I was easily able to shape it into a position where excess oil would drip off with each mess. I have since used it for other applications as well. This is a great tool. An…

How could I not know that before?

I bought this to make it easier to change the oil in air compressors, snow blowers and other garden equipment. I used to try to bend thin sheet of aluminum but this is much easier and much better. I think I'll also use it to get oil out of the oil filter on a couple of my cars (since the Chevy and Ford engineers made a poor choice of putting it on their cars if someone is trying to keep things clean ). I highly recommend it. I've used it about half a dozen times and each time I like it more and

Buy this, not Qingjie. (or other Chinese imitations)

If you're like me, you'll find that well-known products are often just rebranded as 300% Chinese products. Price. That's just not the case here. form-A-Funnel is a good durable/durable rubber that encapsulates something that will hold a rigid shape. I bought both this and the Qinjie brand hoping this is the case to save a few bucks. Long story short, a faux china is made from the same vinyl as your checkbook cover and it looks like the stitching will tear after a little use and ruin the…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • I don't like anything about it, everything is fine

Amazing tool and gear tool

I bought this in early 2020. I haven't had a chance to use it as it was easy to drain oil from my cars. But I have a 2018 KIA with all the plastic protection underneath and holes for access to the oil drain plug and oil filter. Of course, they're not big enough to drain the oil and change the filter without spilling it all. So I gave him a chance. Wow, it folds easily, profiled along the holes, the oil flows on it and straight into the pan, no mush and fuss, hands weren't in the oil. Cleaning…

  • It's amazing

  • Fading

Didn't think it would work

When trying to change the oil in my wife's Touareg - when you remove the drain plug - the oil wants to get *everywhere* one of the cross bars. I've searched for funnels before, but since I couldn't find a suitable one, I just resigned myself to cleaning up after the fact. Next comes the funnel shape. Wow. This allowed me to form a funnel and direct the hot oil to the desired path. it was like an ugly black river, but absolutely not a drop went where I didn't want it. This is a great product…

  • Very good price

  • Good but not great

Great for aviation

I noticed that most of the reviews were for cars but wanted to add that the 29" version is also great for an airplane oil change. I fly a C172RG and for an oil change I use this product, it works great. Just enough length to loop from the dump valve through the hood flap. It's also just long enough to extend over the top of the fuselage when it's left The cowl is removed so I can drain any stuck oil from the oil filter before it's removed. I showed it to both my A&P (great guy who showed me the

Definitely not worth the price

Like almost everything these days, this product doesn't live up to the advertised claims. While this "funnel" will work in some applications, it is unlikely to work as well in the applications for which a regular funnel would work very well as it is intended for most hard-to-find or complex applications. Similar to those found in most modern maintenance free vehicles. If you don't want it to be a straight funnel or just redirect the flow in one direction, this will work. Just like the much…

  • Dope 🔥

  • No performance
