Expensive, but certainly look to be quality construction.

I liked pulling up the page and seeing all of the page views come in across the world. Garak, I saw Regina on there, must have been you!!

Wow, those are pricey compred to gold plug and others.

I have one of those on my Volvo S60 and im very satisfied with the quality.
When i change car and need a new plug i would not even consider to buy anything else than a Dimple plug again, Those magnets are very strong and they dont loose their strength when they are heated up by the engine oil.

Must be me! As for the plugs, if I didn't have a Fumoto, it would be something to consider, I suppose. They are pretty, at least.

I've got a Fumoto and it's a beauty. But not as nice as my Mityvac 7400 extractor!

IMO magnetic drain plugs, filter magnets and etc... are feel good moves that aren't actually going to help the engine in any way. Spend that money on a bypass filter or 'better' oil instead.

Any downside to these magnetic drain plugs? Could the particles accumulate and then dislodge and block an oil passage?

$40 for an oil plug?!?! Are you kidding? If you really want to spend your money wisely, don't buy any of those things and just drive the car without worries. Then, donate money to a charity of your choice. You'll feel better and neither you nor the car will ever notice the difference!

I wondered that too, if there was so much buildup that the magnet wasn't strong enough to hold and a big chunk flew off. I suppose this would would not be advised if you intend a used oil analysis?
