[Shop-talk] Oil Extractors

[Ian McFetridge]

I’ve had this MityVac since 2015 and it’s worked for everything I’ve thrown
at it. I originally bought it for my generator since the drain is in an
awkward position, but I’ve used it for mowers, snow blower, and several
cars/trucks.  I creates plenty of vacuum to drain 8 quarts, then it can
conveniently be reversed to push the oil into disposal containers.  I would
buy the exact same thing again.
