Looks okay-ish...as in nice idea, but I'd want to be sure the tap is secure before giving me car a blast over ruff road - wouldn't want the tap to turn 'open'!!

Pointless! Unless you lay in bed at night worrying about those "stripped threads" Besides, your mates won't be able to see it and be mightily impressed!

They are also not magnetic like the OEM sump plug.

Not really worth it IMHO...

Got to agree with Andrew (again ). It takes me about 30secs to undo the sump plug, is it really worth the cost to save 20secs every 6 months.
