SEALEY have COLLARED the oil extraction market!
I bought a cheaper version of this type of extractor (approx £40) two years ago and found I'd wasted my money since I need to use PVC tape to achieve any kind of seal between the main hose and extension probes. In contrast the Sealey machine is a high quality product. Very strong reservoir/pump unit and the main hose is very flexible and comes with a variety of extractor probes. The extension joints between the main hose to each extension feature double O-rings to give a good seal. First time I used the unit to extract engine oil from my Q5 it removed over 4 litres (sump has 5 litres capacity). After warming the engine you have to allow the oil to drain down through the engine block to achieve maximum extraction so it's not a 5 min job.
One point which is likely to save those of a OCD perspective some distress is that the black locking collar which appears to be there to secure the large plug at the end of the main hose to the extractor body has no function since the collar hole-width is not enough to go over the plug seal and screw onto the main body. According the Sealey Tech Support the collar is not needed!
Triton Adjustable Jig Pocket-Hole TWAJ 463419

Versatile and good value
This is a well made tool. Perhaps its biggest advantage is the spacing it allows between two pocket holes without having to move the jig. I have several of these jigs and while its not as elaborate as two other well-know (and more expensive) pocket jig systems, its good value since you get all you need to to start effective pocket-hole joinery.
