Aftermarket drain plug

I got a supply of these drain plugs as a kit with some oil filters at Christmas. Anyone else use them?

They look like standard drain plugs.

Bought a magnetic drain plug from Oreilly's for around four bucks and it works like a champ.

IMO, these types of oil pan plugs are much less susceptible to being stripped than the OEM plug...also a nice 6 point socket or wrench makes it darn near impossible to strip while removing or reinstalling.
