Damn oil drain plug

I don't think the original poster has gotten back to us with what worked or didn't. I would like to know for future reference.

These things work wonders.

I just bought this exact set. Tapped one onto the plug and got it loose very easily. I wasn't very confident in it holding, but it came loose on the first try.

Just for future reference - the biggest one in that set works like a champ for removing locking lug nuts as well. When I got my DD it had one locking nut on each wheel and no key wrench. Tire shop was like "you HAVE to find the key"... I did. One of those extractors. Came back 1/2hr later and they were amazed...lol
