Very useful, perfect fit
This is a great upgrade to the plastic oil plug that comes with the generator. If you want to break in your generator properly (you tube it, lots of great videos), you should also use a magnetic dipstick/plug to help capture little metal fragments that can damage your engine and float about in your oil, especially during the break in process. This helps to grab those metal shavings and you can pull them out and get them out of your engine. This is a cheap but incredibly easy and useful tool to help the longevity of your generator.

Good upgrade
Can't yet speak to longevity but it seems well made, fits like it should, and is magnetic. Glad to have this upgrade, though it should just come standard with generators

will fit the new HF 2500 watt predator with smaller dip
Fits in the new HF 2500watt generators, can't say anything about the magnet staying in or falling out, I've heard recommendations for adding some high temp Loctite or using a punch to put some small staking notches around the magnet but be careful neodymium likes to crack. Kind of a you call.

Gut angelegte Investition die ihren Zweck erfüllt und den Generator schützt
Einen Stromerzeuger hatte ich immer schon. Jetzt war es Zeit für eine Neuanschaffung. Ich bin seit Wochen am recherchieren. Während all der Videos über diverse Aggregate bin ich auf diesen magnetischen Ölstab gestoßen. Na ja dachte ich mir, gerade für ein Neugerät, wo man den Motor eigentlich ''einlaufen'' lassen soll und der Generator über keinen eigenen Ölfilter verfügt, ist das Teil eine gute Idee. Ich hatte die Möglichkeit zwei Neugeräte zu testen bei denen ich, jeweils entgegen der Herstellerangaben, einen Ölwechsel bereits nach etwa einer Stunde machte. Tja, was soll ich sagen: das Öl war voller Abrieb und größerer Späne. Nicht daran zu denken was passiert, wenn der erste Ölwechsel erst nach 20 Stunden gemacht wird, wie es der Hersteller vorgibt. Also habe ich mir diesen magnetischen Messstab besorgt. Bei meinem Neugerät habe ich diesen gleich mit dem originalen getauscht. Der neue Generator (mit null Stunden) wurde auf den ersten Start vorbereitet. Nach etwa einer Stunde Laufzeit habe ich das Öl gewechselt. Bereits in der Auffangschale konnte ich fast keinen Abrieb erkennen. Danach hab ich den magnetischen Messstab entfernt und war überrascht wie wirksam dieser die Partikel aufnimmt. Noch besser konnte ich es dann erkennen, wie ich das Teil reinigte. Mehr sage ich dazu nicht. Die Fotos sagen alles. Also, wer seinem Generator etwas gutes tun möchte, der macht mit diesem Messstab nichts falsch. Der Motor und alle mit dem Öl geschmierten Bauteile danken es mit Langlebigkeit.

Fits ACDelco generator with Lifan 196cc engine
Appears to be a solid and very good quality product. It fits perfectly in an old AC Delco 3000 watt generator from 2007 with a Lifan 196cc engine ( engine family : 7CLGS.19668F ). I have been trying to find a compatible oil dipstick for this engine for over 10 years, as the original plastic one broke in half and was unusable. Many trials and failures later, this is the only dipstick that fits this engine perfectly.

Good quality.
I have a 2000w Champion inverter generator (the older square model). Didn't take long for the original plastic drain plug threads to get a little chewed up and become a pain to check the oil. Took a chance on this fitting (as wasn't listed as a compatible fit). To my delight, it fit perfectly, and is a solid upgrade to the plastic dipstick original to the unit.

Works well in Champion 1800W
Used this in my champion 1800W inverter ad a cheaper alternative to the purpose-built one. The threads match, though the shaft is a bit shorter. Nevertheless, the magnet has been able to hold onto a good bit of filings throughout the breaking period and I'll leave it on permanently now. The large knob with heavy knurling is a nice upgrade from the OEM.
