it does get screwed on but there is a magnet that is at the end of the bolt and it attracts the metal pieces floating around in your fluids.

If you haven't had any internal work done (i.e. porting) then you're not going to see any metal bits.

you can magnatize it for free guys. this is how you magnatize tools. works the same way. get an old speaker. the bottom end of the bolt. touch it to the magnet on the speaker and drag it around the magnet. magnatized. its probably not as powerful but it works for free.

There are metal bits EVERY time. Mostly a fine grit of metal powder, but there are certainly particles present.

I wouldn't think you need a plug like this if oil filters actually work the way they're intended to work.
