[Shop-talk] Oil drain plugs: Traditional vs quick-drain?

[Jimmie Mayfield]

What's the consensus on quick-drain plugs like Fumoto and Stahlbus?  
Gimmicky or are they worth it?  I'm toying with the idea of putting one 
on my 4Runner.  The oil pan is protected by a skid plate so I'm not too 
concerned about debris snagging the plug but it does seem like I'd be 
putting a lot of faith in that plug spring.

What do you say?
