plugs. "the horrible Nissan 'square hole' that is a real PITA" A 1/2" ratchet fits them perfectly and turns them out with little effort. In fact, in the transmission fill plug location, I'd guess it's probably going to be slightly more difficult to remove yours with the added overall length (I realize this locations plug doesn't have the magnet, but I'm meaning with the added length of the 14mm head). That's a very tight location on many Z32's. With the 1/2" ratchet, you don't need any sockets or otherwise, so the head of the ratchet is the only thickness. Your plug will most likely require a ratcheting wrench, as there will definitely not be enough room for a socket & ratchet. While that's perfectly fine, most of us have longer ratchets than we do wrenches, so I'd rather have the extra torque from a longer handle. I guess what I'm getting at is the magnetic plugs are a great idea but I think the fill plug (for at least the trans) is probably not that great. However, I commend you for releasing a product that appears to be good quality. I don't think the 14mm head was a bad idea, but I don't really see the need for it other than it's probably much cheaper to machine then a recessed square hole. The highlight of this product isn't the simplicity it supposedly creates, it's the high powered magnets that offer something over factory.
