I haven't used any of them for a long time and I wasn't sure they were still available. They were ideal in an area where you couldn't smack the metal plugs with a hammer.

The metal plugs are prone to rust if you don't keep rust inhibitor in the antifreeze. Permanent antifreeze doesn't mean forever. I usually change
it every other year.

When I was a kid my dad always used Zerone that was an alcohol antifreeze. Used it over winter and drained it in the spring. Never had any radiator clogging problems like they do now. When we got an H Farmall it had the Zerone too.
The 10-20 we had was always drained after use in the winter months and that radiator never leaked.
