Keep Your Hands Clear
When the Plug Comes Loose.
The Vortek Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Magnet lets you retrieve and handle compatible ferrous-metal drain plugs cleanly — keeping your hands away from hot oil and draining fluid during routine servicing.
✓ Retrieve loosened drain plugs without putting your hand in draining oil
✓ Compact enough to store with your drain pan and oil-change kit
✓ Works on ferrous-metal plugs — check your plug material before use
That moment the plug drops
into hot, draining oil.
Reaching into a stream of draining oil to catch a slippery drain plug is one of the most common ways DIY mechanics burn their fingers. The Vortek Oil Drain Plug Magnet gives you a controlled way to retrieve and handle the plug once it has been loosened — without putting your hand directly in the way.
More controlled.
Less mess.
Magnetic Plug Retrieval
Once the plug is loosened with the correct socket or spanner, use the magnet to hold and guide it clear — reducing the chance of dropping it into the drain pan.
Reduced Hand Exposure
Keep your fingers away from draining fluid — particularly useful when the oil is still warm from a recent run.
Compact and Practical
Small enough to tuck into your oil-change kit. Easy to wipe clean after use and ready for the next service.
