Great for bikes / tight spaces - Works wonders

Not a fan of leaving reviews 10 minutes after receiving the item. You need time to give a proper review. In truth it was about 2 hours but I have to believe what it was supposed to be. I've been working on an oil change on my Harley Davidson FXDF for almost a week now. It has very limited room for an oil filter, and the damn dealer tightened this thing to some serious torque. I've tried everything to get rid of it. I've tried the standard bowl shaped filter wrench, I've tried another designed by the OEM dealer for my filter. By applying enough torque, it actually ripped off the edges of the filter and just ended up making it harder to remove. I've tried a leather strap wrench, a rubber strap wrench, and a cloth wrench. I know there are a hundred tricks you can try including sandpaper, parachute cords, you name it. I was about to give up and use a drill to drive the screws in and do it the old fashioned emergency method, but I've seen a few videos that suggested wrenches for CLAW filters. so i decided to give it a try. This thing literally pinched the side of the filter and unscrewed it in about 5 seconds. It was almost effortless. Yes I had to stop and adjust about 20 times due to the limited space of the filter versus my bike's motor, but it was very easy and each time he pushed hard and moved about an inch before I had to re-adjust. This thing has been like a miracle to me and has saved me so much time and effort. I only wish I had had it when I started. I feel like I can throw away all the other keys now. Outstanding technique.
