The HF unit may very well be well made but it operates very differently (in a negative way) than my DIY extractor. Mine goes over the dipstick tube. The HF unit goes inside the dipstick tube with a long skinny tube, which takes longer to extract the oil and makes it more messy to use and clean. The biggest negative is that it won't extract the oil filter and its housing. You may be able to modify the HF unit to work the same as my design by adding a larger hose that fits over the dipstick tube.
