Which spill free funnel do you use? 96-01 ES300

I need a spill free funnel that works better than this Lisle one I tried using for bleeding my cooling system. The correct adapter for our radiator cap type was loose when attached and it let coolant spill quite liberally off the sides of the adapter when the car was at operating temperature. So I wasn't very happy with it. Can anyone that has a 96-01 ES300 tell me which one they bought and used that worked flawlessly without any spillage?

The one I bought, which I DO NOT recommend:Lisle 24680 Spill-Free Funnel

I think I have the 24610, it's been a long time since I bought the thing.

and it works flawlessly? If so.. they must have altered the size for our adapter for some reason in a newer model of the funnel package. I'm assuming they are trying to cover a certain range of cars and don't get it perfect for some.

I've used it on my ES it works fine. I might have doubled up the rubber seal.

I’m guessing you are using the wrong adaptor. There are a couple which look almost identical but one works great on a Toyota and the other does not.
