Default Magnetic oil drain plug

Does anyone know where I can find one of these? Also, where can I find a magnet that goes on an oil filter? I heard they help a little bit with metal shavings, any opinions....
Thanks

I have the Spoon magnetic drain plug, you will be surprise how much **** is there when you do the oil change. I brought them from Boom Plus Toys in Vancouver BC for like $65CDN ($43USD).

I bought an oil plug for $3 from Pep Boys...while we're on the subject, does anyone know the thread size for the trans plug? They didn't have any record of it and I haven't gotten my Helms yet...

Well, I don't know if the tranny plug will help, I know on prelude trannies, there is already a magnent in the bottom of housing with a filter..

Isn't this just a magnet on a screw? How difficult is that? Is the $40 to cover the R&D expenses of coming up with this concept?

Does the SPOON magnet have a higher field strength? How is that rated? Tesla? What makes the SPOON high performance and the Pep Boys version $3?

Eh?

$50 spooom drain plugs = paying for brand name just like u do when u buy a&f, BR, polo etc

$3 pepboys drain plugs = low budget TJ Max style

honestly i dont think the spoooooms will outperform any more better than the pepboys ones, but i guess some people will want spooooom ones so they can say "i have spoooooooooom in my car" you make the choice. i know what mine is

Did somebody say SPOOM... Check this out on ebay for Spoom Sports drain plug $10 but it is only the oil plug but it does include aluminum washer. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...825077&r=0&t=0
