Rounded off drain plug

^^ Ditto. Add me to the list. I didn't know about Knipex and now I have two:

I love my Knipex, and it was free!

A plumber broke one and threw it away. I picked it up.
I knew they have a lifetime warranty, so got the address, sent it in, and they sent me a new one.
Well it wasn't quite free.....I had to pay the postage to return it.
It was a good deal for me.

Could you please tell us where on the tool failed.
Thanks!

Now that it is May we have to hold out hope that Kando will make another attempt on Memorial Day. :thumbsup:

^^^ Independence Day is when the plug will become independent of the pan. There will be fireworks. Hopefully not from the pan though.

A common practice is to round off and screw it up real good with vise grips and or channel locks then say the pipe wrench won't work.:laughing:

Let’s be careful not to implicate Kando

2000 is looking better as a new target, probably by July 4. Kando is probably already committed to the grandkids for memorial day and the family camping trip. Doesn't need the tractor for that. Meanwhile the fluid gets blacker and dirtier.

I’m pretty sure that plug isn’t coming out unless he decides to take it to a shop.

We could start a 'go fund me' drive and reward the person who travels to and successfully removes the plug with the assets in the fund. Whatcha think? Of course we need Kant-do's blessing but hey... at least he likely gets the plug out for free regardless of the number of attempts made. Heck, maybe we could kick back 10% to Kando for a win-win!

When a new Pope is elected, they send up white smoke. When the drain plug comes out, I think Kando should tip up some pallets in his field.

Don't tempt me. Weather kept us out over Easter, weather still isn't cooperating. Ordered a pair of knipex to try out. They're scheduled for delivery on the 7th.
