Oil suction tool

Any one used one of these for Gearbox and transmission oil changes. Or can anyone suggest problems in using one.

Holy Censored that's expensive.
Have a look at Aldi they do a 12v pump which works great. Common sense isn't very common.

I agree but the same bit of kit is available elsewhere at a cheaper price.

Almost a 10th of the price and does the same job.

cheaper than the Aldi ones but

"Do NOT use with water, gearbox-oil, high flammable liquids " Common sense isn't very common.

OK I should have started the original question with "apart from price". Hoping for practical feedback please..

That looks identical to the one I have which I paid about £35 for. These are recommended for Smart car engine oil changes as they have no sump plugs (Ditto boat engines). Works well if a little slowly. I am away from home at the moment so cannot find manufacturers name. But it was from ebay. Silver 2009 HSE

Not to be used for high flammable liquids. Last I checked diesel is pretty flammable. Comments like this are just arse covering as they haven't tested it on that particular fluid. 10 gear oil services in and I I am still waiting for my one to spontaneously combust or catch fire.

diesel is classed a combustible, not so easy to light in plain liquid form, needs to be mist have an accelerant with it to burn at room temperature. At work

Correct CG , the fire triangle , oxygen in the correct ratio to fuel and a source of Ignition. Given that you can get most things to burn but a can of diesel would take some doing without as you say a bit of ingenuity.

In respect to emptying the oil in cars etc , I have a Draper Vacuum brake bleeder , which works from a compressor , smashing thing, like a spray gun in reverse it pulls liquid into the pot instead of pushing it out . Cost about £30 a few years back and extra for the oil lance . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Have the Laser model for doing the engine oil change on the Yanmar diesel I/b on the boat - works perfectly.
