GarageBOSS Clear 3.5 Quart Large Capacity Weighted Funnel, 1 Pack

This is a large funnel that works well with the weighted ring on my Kia Sportage 2.0 due to the design of the plastic cover. I remove the ring and this funnel works just as well in my Toyota Tundra 4.7 . As with all GarageBoss items that I own this funnel is well made and sturdy. The only real complaint is the funnel is a little spendy, I did have some reservations on the cost of this funnel and held off buying it for a while until I lost a $12.00 bottle of oil due to a cheap big box funnel failure. The cost of the oil, time and effort to clean the engine and garage floor made me decide to make this purchase and I don’t regret spending the money for good tools that work.

And I always thought that was just something my grandfather said. The times I could have and plan to use a device like this are many and ceaseless. It turns “if only I had…” into “no problem". While my automotive wrenching days have diminshed, I can easily see half-dozen places where this funnel would be a lifesaver, (there we go!) a coolant saver, you name it. Not to mention a safeness saver, transferring oil was never an easy task, and now it’s even a regulated one. With the wide mouth and tapered counterweight, I have found it to let any situation that calls for a funnel be almost always a hands-free process. The extra wide mouth is great for dumping smaller containers- or say, oil filters in to drain, not to mention so much easier to clean. The outlet is almost a full inch, so for me this is a great help in emptying my deep fryer. In an actual use, I used it to top off my radiator, and found that the weight was not quite heavy enough to keep it vertical on its own, but it gives a good flat spot for better balance. This didn’t help either since the radiator core is quite close to the fill port. The black rubber weight completely covers the opening, making it easy to overfill. But it still works where any others I have tried didn’t, and may end my bad habit of freehanding it. It was perfect for adding oil during a change, the weight rests squarely on the valve cover of my 22R, and the size of the cone let me dump in quart after quart, never falling behind and making me wait for it to drain, If you opened all of your oil and tried to fill it to the brim it would still probably keep up nicely, the funnel holds about 3 quarts, but with the low capacity of my Toyota engine I rarely do it that way. One surprise was how well the tapered portion fits snugly into smaller funnels with the ring removed. I frequently use a long necked one for various transfers, and the Garage Boss slides right in and stays put, increasing not just the girth but the length as well. It’s a bit ungainly for transferring liquid between 1gallon containers, the weight (actually a 4.4 ounce tapered rubber plug) doesn’t really help as much as I had hoped, (the “taper” is only about ¾”) but it does help throw the advantage back in your corner. I have a feeling as time goes by it will prove superior in just about any situation

Great design! Does not tip over when filled

What can I say, this is a very large funnel for moving fluids from one container to another. Lets be honest - it is MASSIVE at 3.5 quarts, this is by far the largest funnel I own. I used it to move oil from a drain pan to a more permanent container and it worked great, the large weight kept it from falling over while pouring. It cleaned up very easy with a quick wipe down from a shop towel and I used it to top off a radiator and washer fluid - again it performed well. The hole is nice as I hang it very high on a peg board to keep it out of the way because, again, it is very large. I only have 2 cons for this giant funnel: 1. if the weight / stopper was angle cut it would help it seat better on container and make it even more stable (it is a little wobbly while pouring oil into it). 2. I feel the price is on the high end, even for a funnel this side. If your a garage mechanic or an avid home hobby enthusiast I could see the price making sense as you don't need help transferring different fluids. Under a car lift draining oil or trans fluid it would justify its price. Also, for draining oil from axles it is large enough to avoid drips, so if you own a 4x4 this may make sense. if it was 2/3 bucks cheaper it would be a no brainer but your millage may very. All in all, its a solid funnel that is super large and doesn't require a friend to help keep it stable so if that is something you need then this will work great!

This Clear, 3.5qt Large Capacity Weighted Funnel from GarageBOSS is fantastic for adding fluids like oil and radiator fluid to your car because it holds so much. You won't need to stand around, pouring in a little at a time and then waiting for it to drain into the car. The funnel is clear so you can see exactly how much you've poured in. Way less messy. It also has a weighted collar around the base to help keep the funnel stable on the car. The weight works pretty well but it doesn't keep the funnel perfectly upright. Still, it's an improvement. The rim has 3 divots so you can theoretically rest the large container of whatever fluid you are installing on the rim of the funnel. This works pretty well for smaller bottles of oil. There is also a hole for hanging the funnel when not in use. So unless you are a mechanic, a funnel isn't going to change your life but it sure makes it easier and less messy when maintaining my car.

well made sturdy funnel with weighted base. The weighted spout makes it easy to use by being secure so it doesn't tip. Be aware that many newer cars have baffles where you fill the oil that won't allow a funnel work properly, but this funnel will work great because of the weighted spout. If you need to, the weight can be removed. Also being clear is helpful as you can see the amount of fluid in the funnel. Great price point
