Strong magnetic oil plugs wanted!

I just noticed that my engine oil sump plug is non magnetic :( and my auto differential oil sump plug (TORX 70) is magnetic but a very weak one at that! :(
I'm about to do my rear diff oil and I'm hoping that this plug will be at least a strong magnetic plug! So are the OEM magnet plugs generally pi$$ weak or can they be replaced with other model super strong magnetic ones.
Any one know where to get strong magnetic sump plugs or can the existing super weak magnet inserts be replaced with super strong inserts?

:)
 
1997 Subaru Liberty. Cost was not cheap, i can't remember exactly.

I added magnets to my oil drain plug. I used one or two of these:

You just have to be a little more careful when installing the plugs unless you epoxy them in place on the drain plug.

You lower diff plug should have a magnet and it seems pretty good, I once saw a differential tooth stuck to it in a Subaru. Who knows when the tooth broke off, but the magnet did it's job well because there were no symptoms of that happening, diff was still in good shape otherwise.
 
Do Toyota/Mitsub/Honda/etc have the same sized plugs with magnets on them for the sump and auto trans?

Anyone know of this and their availability?
