Ecoplug Magnetic Removal Tool for ECO-PLUG Magnetic Oil Drain Plugs, Steel and Aluminum Oil Pans

The Ecoplug Magnetic Removal Tool is a purpose-built accessory for safely and efficiently removing ECO-PLUG magnetic oil drain plugs from both steel and aluminum oil pans. Rather than reaching for pliers or vice grips near a hot, freshly drained oil pan, this tool uses a magnetic attachment that securely engages the ECO-PLUG so it can be lifted free without threading or twisting against the pan.

The tool is built with an ergonomic grip that stays comfortable to hold during repeated oil changes, and its durable construction is designed to hold up to regular automotive maintenance use. By eliminating direct contact with hot, messy oil and reducing the chance of marring or damaging the oil pan during removal, the Ecoplug Magnetic Removal Tool speeds up the plug-removal step of an oil change for both automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts. It is intended for use with ECO-PLUG magnetic drain plugs and works on oil pans made of steel or aluminum.
