Oil drain valve

Anyone use the difflock drain plug? Is it any good and is there anything similar, or better out there?
Just trying to make oil changes a little more pleasant

I have one, made by Femoco.

Worth every penny if you do regular services yourself.
Plus points:

No oil can be blown by the wind to all around your drainer... If you do your servicing outside.
No need to buy plug washers every time
No need to fish the plug and plug washer from a tub of used oil
No chance of fudging the sump thread

Make sure you buy the optional hose

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Stornoway Grey

Thinking about getting this plus the units for all the gear boxes as well to make DIY work much simpler and cleaner. Sometimes the shops can get pretty busy for a simple oil and filter change...
