There's a threadless plug. It's a hollow Neoprene shaft. When
you insert the tool in the end, it stretches to a small enough diameter
to slide into the pan. When you remove the tool; it returned to
its bulbus shape, sealing against the inside and outside of the hole.

AWFULL things. They do work, for a while - but I've never liked or
trusted them long term. A PROPER fix is almost as quick and simple.
