(More customer reviews)Got the Oil Drain. Packaging was fine. You get the funnel, the base with casters already attached, a band clamp around the filler neck, 2 metal tubes and a small bag of hardware.
I was a little uncertain which way to orient the metal tubes. One is swagged to fit into another and the way the holes are in each tube I assumed I had to bolt them together using the supplied bolt, washer and nut. This will put the bolt directly in the path of the draining oil but I guess that is intended. Next the funnel fits in one end of the tube assembly with 2 small holes in the end (of the tube). Apparently you use 2 self threading screws through the tube and either against the funnel or into the sides of the funnel neck. There are no marks or dimples. The band clamp around the filler neck was down close to the container and I tightened the bejeebus out of it and barely put pressure on the tube assembly. After this I noticed the container neck was slotted and if I loosened the clamp and repositioned it near the top of the neck, tightening it would squeeze the slots together and hold the tube assembly at the desired height. I guess this is also the method for changing height.
The filler cap looks pretty cheap and the handle is a joke. It's a lump on top of the container without even a depression for the fingers.
All in all, this appears to be an OK first lift-height oil drain pan, but I wouldn't be surprised if I end up upgrading at a later date but most likely not another John Dow product.
