These are available from sca. I think they are a good idea.

Features:

Remove oil drain plug without touching the plug or hot oil.
NO touching HOT plug.
NO HOT oil on hands.
NO dropping of plug in HOT oil.
NO oil soaked gloves.

How much. I like the idea.

I've got one on my Patrol. Search Fumoto drain valve. Costs around 40 bucks.
Best thing ever. The tap can be secured with clamp, hose clip, circlip or cable tie.

Cool, last one I had didn't have the nipple on the end, might give that one a go this time. I had a circlip around my last one, and was really impressed with it.

Had a fomoto on last 4B it was hidden above the sump bash plate. It had a barb to fit a piece of hose so draining the oil was a clean job. Cable tied it closed all the same.

The Nissan 4.2 is too exposed for me to use one.

Another thing the flow rate is very slow, so you need to leave it longer to drain. That can be a PITA.

No magnet to catch metal fragments for indication of internal issues and to stop fragments doing more damage.
