I still need a crows-foot... sometimes they're expensive and also no US sellers on eBay tho.

 

I picked up a nice USA made set (SAE) Craftsman crows feet that were listed as "vintage" a number of years ago. You can find a lot of tools that come from an estate (gramps died) and the heirs are looking to liquidate things. With the occasional exception of Taiwan, I will only acquire USA stuff. I don't mind paying a bit more to fellow citizens than cheap junk from China.

 

Even if both bolts had the same head size I'd still need a crow-foot wrench to torque the differential fill plug. And, since I have one, I'm still using the OE bolt. Darn crow-foot wrench is probably the most expensive tool in my tool box based on cost per application as it's used only for this one bolt and that rarely.

For filling the trans or diff fluid I usually get one of the cheap $4 gallon weed sprayers from Walmart and use those to fill them with fluid, pump it up a bit and you can accurately squirt them into the fill holes.

I would recommend only using them for those specific fluids, write diff on the diff fluid one.

The transmission fluid one I just do not use anything but the Honda's fluid for it.

Gearbox oil has as many disciples as engine oil. Some (many? a few?) indicate Honda MTF doesn't seem to provide smooth operation as long as some of the boutique brands. For some reason the gearbox always seems to be smoother after its oil is changed. Probably the placebo effect.
