I use them. I've made my own reach tool & now change my oil without going under the car.

I got mine from NAPA

1 thing to remember though. They had a couple options & I got the cheaper one (tiny slide arm for valve open), it is JUNK! The drain hole is too small and it's a pain to get reseated when closed.

Went back and got the higher doller one (now on almost all my cars) and it's great. Large drain diameter and a simple and easy valve. Locks closed with a snap and that's that.

To open it, the valve handle has to be twisted slightly counter clock wise and then pushed down, then you just turn it 90. If you find the same one, it's easy to make a tool to open and close it from atop the car out of a cheap 10" 1/4 ratchet extension.
