Universal Oil Filter Wrench Adjustable 3 Jaw Oil Filter Removal Tool Range 2-3/8 to 3-7/8 inch with 1/2'' Adapter 3/8'' Square Drive Socket

This works great.

Good item

Red rubbers kept falling off and wouldn't grab on to filter. Had to use a big pair of chanelocksUsed it first time and refund window closed a couple weeks ago.

Yes it’s loose and slips off and you need to use 2 hands and maybe wish you had a third arm/hand coming out your chest(I have forever), but a simple rubber band fixes this problem and you can keep changing the rubber band if it fails. This fits in any/many positions on the bottom of a filter….which has like 36 sides. Getting a perfect fit one to fit the filter bottom and line up with the ratchet, now that’s a chore! And the strap type need a quarter turn to break free. This one will turn with a single ratchet click….for me anyways! Use it on the UTV and the car. Yet to try it on the vertical truck, but horizontal and upside down both work fine. Put a rubber…band on it!…..or 6

So here's something that I specifically bought and used this for. Removal of an oven light. Seriously. I had a light inside my oven that was impossible to remove by hand. I tired several times over the course of a couple months to get it unstuck and it wouldn't budge. The particular oven had two lights...and one was easily removed, but the 2nd one just was next to impossible. Until I read a recommendation online to get one of these and try it. So with a socket extender and this wrench, it was absolutely perfect to grab the lightbulb and twist it out without shattering the glass. In the end was it worth $20 bucks for a 5 second job? For me it was since it would have been probably a service call to an appliance repair person.

Pretty impressed with this clever gadget. I had an oil filter that I couldn't remove by hand, using all my grip strength. I had other types of removal tools, but they either didn't fit that size of filter or didn't grab at a good angle for its location. With a ratchet and an extender, this worked perfectly. At first I thought it wasn't grabbing the filter, but then I realized the filter was turning - it's just that the added leverage made it so easy that I thought it was slipping. It also fits the filters for both of the family cars (very different diameters). Seems well built, but I'll update this review if I have any problems with durability.

I bought this because I change oil filters for multiple cars. Hyundais, toyotas, hondas and Nissans. So far this tool has worked with my hyundai and toyota tacoma truck. All other vehicles this tool will not grip the other filters. Very inconvenient. The red end plastic parts of the tool may get slippery and not work well. The design of the red plastic should have small teeth or grippy material.

Use this before you destroy the filter. But it also works on half mangled filters like the one I had.I first thought okay use the large channel locks that I have, nope didn't work.Then I went to town and bought the band wrenches, that didn't work.Then I went to the SCREW DRIVER METHOD. That FUBARed it and still it didn't budge.Then I threaded paracord through the hole and wrapped it around the filter. Then I tried tugging with a rachet strap. That started pulling it sideways. Didn't turn it at all.I gave up and ordered this. Once it arrived I had it off in 5 min. It was still hard stuck on, but after about 5 turns it loosened to hand turning.
