 2 PRONG - Ungrounded unit...shorts out!! February 27, 2010
Hershey Handyman (pennsylvania)
Description says "Three prong grounded plug". This is not accurate. It is a 2-prong ungrounded unit that shorts out when submerged in the pre-heated oil. I debated purchasing this item due to the negative reviews. I am a retired industrial maintenance tech and yes I followed the directions. Since they were calling for blizzard conditions I thought it would be worth the risk. I installed it in my (warmed up) tractor and plugged the unit in. The following day after the storm subsided, I went out to see if it was working. It was ice cold and I could see by the discoloration that it had indeed heated up and shorted out. I ordered a replacement and I am hoping that I will get the proper 3-PRONG grounded unit.
Just an update: Amazon sent me a replacement. It also was another ungrounded heater. However, they changed the description of the unit to a 2 prong, ungrounded heater. I returned the unit to Amazon. Once again, great customer service.

I bought this to warm the crankcase on my diesel loader. Worked once then stopped. Cost me $36.00 for one start-up!

Dont waste your money like I did on this heater. I tried it on three different vehicles and could not get it to fit on any of them. It was to short to reach into the oil on every vehicle.

after reading the reviews i bought this with some hesitation. i had the same affect as the other two guys. i pluged it in one night when the oil was warm and it didnt keep the engine warm but it kept the oil warm resulting in better oil flow for the first couple minutes of start up. the next night i went to use it again with the oil hot and the next morning when i pulled it out and touched it it was ice cold (0 degrees out). i tried it two more nights since then and it does not work anymore. next time ill buy one that goes in the lower radiator hose
 A Dipstick Oil Heater is handy in an ice storm February 16, 2009

During the ice storm of 2009, we needed the tractor something terrible to help clear debris and for clearing the driveway. If it wasn't for this handy device, we would have been in jeopardy.
