Exclamation filling coolant with little mess

I have this at work and use it constantly: http://www.lislecorp.com/tool_detail.cfm?detail=230
It doesn't make the job faster, just cuts down on the mess factor alot.

several of our techs use that same one, others use one marketed by snap-on/mac/cornwell. The center plunger is the best part

I have a twist opening spout that fits in place of the cap on the anit-freeze jug and it cost me $4.

Using that funnel also helps 'burp' the cooling system to help prevent air pockets which will make a gurgling sound. A very useful product.

If you used it as much as I do, $20 is nothing. I think I paid $15 from the Matco guy.
