Question What's the truth about through the dip-stem oil extractors?

I’ve read posts that have stated: Don’t work; Work great; Work somewhat but leave oil behind and finally; Work great and they get out more oil out than by removing the plug.

What is the truth? And which (if any) is the best?

Best diameter tube to use?

And can I simply buy a drill mounted pump attach a line of tubing?

I'm inclined to be a bit cheap. Which is at partially the reason we own diesels. (Come’on now. Be honest)!

I’ve always changed my oil the old fashioned way, from underneath. I don’t own ramps because I will not get underneath a car on ramps. But this would make things allot easier, if it works. Thanks.
