Flexible and durable

I needed to fill a van with a 5 gallon gas can, but due to the design of the gas tank I couldn't hold the gas can and funnel at the same time. This funnel solved my problem.

Pros
  • Excellent all round performance
Cons
  • Easily wrinkled

more CHINA JUNK - Tools for oil systems

the metal tip at the end of the funnel mouth fell off the first time. (plus leaked around him) didn't try to bend his neck. I was afraid it would break in half. It is better to buy a flexible plastic funnel.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Almost never

Power too big for my purpose

I bought this to fill a 2018 Honda Odyssey with a 9 speed ZF gearbox after draining it. Unfortunately, the outlet of this funnel is too large to be suitable for this purpose. The input plug of this transmission is not small. The manufacturer must indicate which vehicles fit / do not fit.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Functionality

Flexible like a straight pipe

Flexible is what a flexible funnel should be, but you have to give up the idea of breaking that part of the funnel to make it sleep the first time. I didn't think I would have to break it as there has never been anything like it. It works out. The price is better than others, but for such a price, the seller could stoop to the sale.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Good but not great

Decent quality galvanized hopper

Decent quality hopper. Works well, no leaks, hose holds up relatively well. The hose was VERY stiff when I got it, but I moved it around a bit and now it's perfectly flexible in all directions. My only issue is that the OD of the end of the spout is too big - 0.7 inch. So I had to modify it with a smaller diameter brass tube and JB Weld epoxy putty. I can't count the size compared to the funnel as it is otherwise good quality and the size of the spout only matters for my specific purpose.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Vulgarity

I have a Subaru Forester that runs on unleaded petrol. Nothing unusual. I bought this funnel to fit in the spout where you would normally put gasoline in a pump and stay upright. However, the only way to get the funnel past the "lead-free gas restrictor" was to remove what was crimped onto the end of the funnel's flexible tubing. After it was removed, the flexible filler hose went into my car's filler neck, and the funnel stayed in a vertical position for me to pour gasoline from a bottle into…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Screen saved me

I bought this funnel because the hydraulic oil hole is hard to reach. Steel Funnel with Flexible Tube for $10! How can you go wrong with that? I had to add a liter of Kubota UDTs after servicing a couple of hydraulic cylinders. Compatible Kubota tractors require UDT hydraulic fluid, so I have some UDT in the shed. I used my new funnel to fill the tractor with UDT and was blown away by the amount of dirt that was in the new sealed bottle. If that hopper didn't have a strainer, that dirt would…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other Other
