Default Liquid Extractors

I was wondering if anyone has used a liquid extractor. I was looking at one in Griot’s catalog. It’s 10122-hand pump. My Buick needs to have the antifreeze changed and I can’t fine a petcock. I don’t want to pull a hose off to drain it. This pump looks like I would work. Any input?
Thanks Lou

Go to Lowes and get 6 feet of clear hose. Stick one end in the radiator and suck on the other. Just stop before the green gets to your mouth.

You have no sense of adventure. I have not opened the drain on a radiator for years. Have not tasted antifreeze either. It just takes a little hand/eye coordination.
