Default Drain plug mod

I know you can buy these but nothing on the shelf uses neodymium magnets they are incredibly strong. I happen to have quite a few in my home machine shop drawers. I took a 1/2" one and used a 1/2" drill and machined the end of my drain plug on my lathe now if you don't have a lathe a drill press will do just fine. It went in with a nice press fit. I have put these on all of my cars drain plugs I even dangle one in the power steering reservoir on stainless wire on all my cars. And I have always been amazed how much more fine particulates they collect then regular magnets. The more I can catch before it goes through the oil pick up the better. Also I don't think it will hurt any NCRS points

just thought I would share.
