Eagle 1662 Drum Funnel with Brass Screen, 18" Diameter x 7" Height, Yellow

This is a great funnel for a 55 gallon drum. It has nice pads that keep it level and stable. I just empty out my used oil in the funnel and let the pan lay in it upside down. Easy to clean up and ready for use again in seconds. It does have a fine mesh screen to catch any small particles. This can be a problem if you are blowing things up constantly and contaminating the oil. The screen will clog pretty quickly if you are trying to dump pulverized bearings and ground up crankshaft down the funnel. Your oil recycling bill will be less because there isn't garbage in your waste oil which they charge extra if the percentage is too high. If you are destroying that many engines your paycheck is probably signed by Rick Hendrick or John Force. In that case use a large screwdriver and rip the screen out of the funnel and dump away!

I decided to "Go Green"-er and make a rain barrel for my wife and her extreme love of all things green. My biggest problem was that my house in southern Georgia does not have gutters and I wasn't keen on installing them anytime soon. I needed something that could collect a large amount of runoff from the roof of my house in a corner that a lot of water would concentrate in when raining. I made the rain barrel with a new water barrel that I found cheaper on a competitor's site and some parts I ordered from Amazon like teflon tape and two brass faucets. My local hardware store is insanely overpriced for everything since we're in smalltown USA. So, I had everything installed and functioning with no way to collect the rainwater efficiently. I looked at a bunch of options like tarps spread on posts with twine or cables holding it up, making a massive collection point, a special funnel produced by some company online specifically for collecting water in a free standing rain barrel (which was WAY overpriced and, thankfully, out of stock), and then THIS. I am extremely happy with this automotive part for my purpose! It works perfectly for my specific application. Now, to be fair, you would definitely collect more water faster and more efficiently if you had gutters and a a special application to divert the water from the gutter downpipe, but this works great after one or two real good rains. My wife waters her back porch garden full of all kinds of flowers - both potted and planted in the ground. If you have a small flower garden, one barrel should be enough. If you have more water needs, you could always setup more barrels as overflow, but gutters would definitely be much more prudent. Regardless, this was great for me with my little corner where water would flow like a waterfall during a rainstorm.

Thick and durable plastic. Very well made. Has a screen filter too.

Have been looking at local part stores and no one knew what I was looking for. I run a small equipment and generator service company and needed something for my waste filters and oil drums to let the filters and oil jugs drain over night. These are very thick and excellent quality and have a very good metal strainer built in.

UPDATE: after reporting to Amazon, I was sent a brand new one. As you can see from my updated photos, it’s amazing and definitely heavy duty. We set it on our rain barrel. We shall see how it stands against the rain, but happy to have have gotten a better product.Received a very defective item, with holes in it. For $60 plus some change I would expect there to be better quality control before shipping. Someone literally saw the item, thought wow this looks right, put it in a box and shipped it to a customer.I have ordered a replacement and will change my review upon getting the newer one.

Exactly what I was looking for. Very heavy duty I was surprised by its weight and thickness. Sits right on my 50 gallon drum no more spilled oil! The screen fell out which isn’t important to me but might be to some so only 4 stars for that reason - if your going to give it a screen do it right!

Although it was a little pricey, this thing is great! It is made so strong, I'll have to include it in my will! Fits on top of my blue plastic drum and collects a LOT of rainwater without messing with my downspout like some suggest.
