A Craftsman version of that oil filter wrench is $12. I have that same drain pan. It's made by Capri Tools (though there are others that looks quite similar). Runs about $20. That leaves $17 for the wrenches and the "moldable" funnel, which doesn't seem too bad.

Here's the thing, though: I've never used box wrenches while changing oil. In fact, if that oil filter wrench is anything like mine (and it certainly seems to be), it needs a 3/8 ratchet, which is all I ever use while changing oil, anyway. This kit would have been better off with a ratchet, six-inch extension, and a metric socket set.

I'm sure that would be more expensive than the box wrenches provided, but I don't see those wrenches getting much use for the intended purpose. Now, if you actually have another use for the wrenches, it might not be a bad value. But you're going to need to supply your own socket set anyway just to use this kit as intended.

I personally never use socket and ratchet for an oil change. I find it easy to store a few box wrenches in the store bin on our drain bucket in the shop. From the pictures posted, i would imagine one of the box wrenches in the bundle fits the adapter provided. If i could change anything here it would be switch to a flex head gear wrench. Just my opinion.

I mean, hopefully, you're right about that. It does seem to have a hex shaped outer area where the square drive is. I know on my particular car, there's no way to reach the oil filter comfortably without an extension, so ratchet still works best for me.

I can certainly see needing an extension to reach but also let's face it... If you do the oil change properly, more times than not you can remove with your hand.
