ABSTRACT:
A tool for use as an aid in emptying waste fluid from a reservoir to a waste container. This tool is a funnel shaped device having a large circular opening for entrance of waste fluid. A funnel wall extends from the larger opening to a smaller opening, preferably offset from the larger circular opening. Access to the funnel interior is provided through the funnel wall, serving as a guide and seal for passage of a wrench extension. The end of the extension is preferably a standard 3/8" square drive plug for mounting an appropriately sized 3/8" drive socket or plug for removal of the reservoir drain plug. The choice of socket or plug to be mounted to the extension depends on the configuration of the drain plug. The opposite end of the wrench extension has a socket for adapting to a preferred 3/8" driver. In operation, the wrench extension is passed through the access to the funnel interior, and the appropriate sized socket or plug is placed on the 3/8" drive end of the wrench extension. The funnel is then placed under a drain plug and engaged with the socket/plug. The drain plug is then removed by application of the 3/8" driver on the opposite end of the wrench extension. The waste fluid then empties into the funnel, which directs it into the waste container.
