Oil filter remover

[bigpoppa]

Bought this bad boy after reading good reviews and scraping my knuckles bloody for an hour in hopes of removing the oil filter, within 2 seconds it managed to losen up the filter with surprising ease, dont remember what i paid for it but it was cheap and well worth the money.(home depot)

According to reviews it does a bunch of other stuff with pipes/plumbing and pvc too

its also thin and small enough to reach difficult to reach spots

I just punch a screw driver thru old one to remove

I had that option but that has the potential to go badly

Mine always go on and come off by hand. However if you didn't put it on you can't help it if it's too tight.

Same. I can't say the same for the cars though.

Father recently bought a filter remover that looks like a small lathe chuck at a garage sale, looks stupid but works amazing

I have never successfully used a strap wrench, they always seem to be too big or small for the filter

Yours don't adjust?

They adjust? *Googles* Oh... apparently most strap wrenches are quite different from what I had. I learned something today

Now I'm curious what you had.

That's the one I grew up using. I guess not technically adjustable but does fit more than one size (not that you said it didn't). I bought a little baby version of it when I got the SV which I haven't needed to use.

Edit: Had to google strap wrench to see how it differs from what I'm used to, lol

a piece of hockey stick beside the filter with a strap wrench that is too big. I use one like the link above. Had it for decades.
