Looks like it's pretty popular online, especially with some of the VW folks. Some cars have the drain bolt facing down and so I read some reviews where they bottomed out and knocked the drain loose. Our cars have it on the side, so we should be fine. There are various reviews with people using them for years and on all different cars and they swear by them.

There's 2 versions, 1 with nipple and 1 without. Nipple lets you attach a hose. For our cars we also need the extension. I found a 10% off coupon online. I'm going to order one for my car and shipping is $5 plus $1 for each additional one. If anyone want's to split shipping w/ me let me know!
Price after Discounts: Normal - $26.95 Nipple - $29.65
Shipping: $5 for first, +$1 after

Dude you should be wearing latex gloves or at least regular gloves! (i heard oil can cause cancer lol). My experience with those drain plugs is with the pressure sometimes it has a small leak. But that was in my supra pushing over 20 lbs of boost. It would leak where the crush washer basically is, and if you have to replace it every change there was no point.
