I’m thinking you can get these from Amazon as well

Harbor Freight. 4pk of funnels = $0.79. For that price they are practically one-use worthy. After use, I store each one in a different plastic bag for the varying fluids

I feel you. I went back to using hand files bc when I Dremel it tends to go like this:

I've got an old metal funnel I use for oil. It goes in the 'empty' oil jug when I'm done with it. The 'empty' jug also gets used to drain oil jugs into when they are 'empty'. I've got almost 3 quarts of oil I use for the mower in my 'empty' jug.

The screws on mine are self-tapping. But the extra room will definitely help

Gonna grab the silver anti-seize locally. Also looking at grabbing some nickel anti-seize at the same time. The nuclear grade is much more expensive, but for the quantity I can get locally, it is actually cheaper than the non-nuclear grade. Far less quantity in the nuclear grade, but $35 of non-nuclear grade is way more than I'll ever need.

Worth it? Thoughts?

I think regular anti-seize will be fine.It takes me a few months just to go through one small bottle at my shop.

You mean the silver?

I probably don't even need the variety. But if I get some nickel stuff I am just wondering whether I should get 8 oz of the non-nuclear grade for $35 or 1 oz of the nuclear grade for $12. Since I have silver and copper, the nickel would just be for specialized uses. Thinking there's no need for me to have 8 oz of the stuff.
