Follow Car Talk advice the Form-A-Funnel™ way

Here’s something of special interest to all you followers of the NPR radio show CarTalk or to anyone interested in starting to do some of his or her own car repairs: Car Talk Do-It-Yourself Tips.

Step One from Click & Clack is to start with something easy. One of their examples is changing oil.

This is relatively easy, true, but not necessarily a clean project—especially dealing with the old filter. It’s often in an awkward and inconvenient location, and the draining oil ends up everywhere but the drain pan.

Until now! To make your next oil change as clean and easy as possible, check out our new Form-a-Funnel™ Draining Tool. It’ll shape to whatever space your engine allows for draining the old oil. I’m talking any engine—cars, trucks, motorcycles, lawn & garden equipment, generators, snow blowers, fork lifts, you name it.

You can even wipe it clean and reshape it to pour in the clean oil.

You’ll be glad to have it. Heck, if you’ve changed oil for years the old-fashioned way, like I have, you’ll be ecstatic. Now you can avoid oil spills and having to create lousy makeshift ways to channel oil—like this:

I advise reading through all seven of Click & Clack’s Steps. Good stuff there.

In classic CarTalk fashion, I’d like to note that I was assisted on this post by one of our Product Development Assistants, Nomo Spillage.

Some spots on the floor just need a good scrubbing. But your blankety-blankin’ floor scrubber is too big! So you have to use the blankey-blankin’ mop!

No longer. If you have 17″ of clearance, use the Genie™ Scrubber. We’re proud to introduce it as part of our collection of GripZone™ Slip Prevention products.

I know what lots of you are thinking … FINALLY!
