Review: Eco-Plug oil drain plug & thoughts on stripped sump threads

A review and discussion of the Eco-Plug threadless magnetic oil drain plug, intended to fix stripped sump drain threads and provide convenience for future oil drains. This is the 12-16 mm 1.25" length for damaged alloy sumps.

I chose this device out of all the other little inventions available as it seemed most likely to be a reliable long-term solution. It works as advertised but introduces a few caveats as discussed.
