100% worth being the best among oil system tools

I love tools and am fortunate to have really good tools. This sets the bar high. The following factors: quality, functionality and price/quality are taken into account when deciding whether to love or hate a tool. I recently started servicing a new car (Lexus NX 200) which requires a special oiler wrench. There are several options on the market, some of which are very cheap, like the cheap $15. To be honest, I almost went in that direction. Then I saw several photos of broken teeth with slits and even one that was completely split in half. That tells me these things are pumped overseas and cast from very inferior metal. Just think how disappointed you will be if your tool breaks during an oil change. You have to stop, reorder, spend more time and money and keep the vehicle longer than you should. Sure, you might get lucky and this cheap oil wrench won't break the first time, but if you service your own car or work in a garage, you'll use it many times a year, if not every day. You will run out of luck during one of your oil changes. food for thought. Knowing this, I almost didn't buy from Klick Wrench, that would be my loss. I couldn't find many reviews or videos on youtube about the company or the product. Turns out, Klick Wrench is a relatively new company. So I'm posting a review for anyone considering Klick Wrench. I also want to help spread the word about a company that makes a good product. Quality: oh my god is that nice. If quality and looks translated into speed, this would be one of the nicest tools in my box. The body is made from 6061 aluminum with a high quality anodized finish. I'm not afraid that this tool will break. It also comes with an engraved serial number and corresponding cocking mechanism calibration card. In addition, it is also manufactured by our friendly neighbors in Canada. THIS IS VERY GOOD. How it works: Inexpensive tools only fit the specified cartridge filter and are screwed on and off. Click wrench (RED) fits 73-77mm cartridge filters and canister filters with 14 and 15 grooves. It's not a one trick pony. I can use that, for example, on my Silverado 1500 with canister. It also has a built in torque wrench to eliminate the risk of over tightening the filter. One more thought. Of course you can take your expensive torque wrench and crawl under the car with it, maybe smash it while driving, throw it in a bucket of oil and scratch it while it's on the pavement. No thank you! I like click wrench in a package. Value for money: Yes, it's a bit more money up front, but it will cost less in the long run if the cheap tool breaks. Also think about it. How much is 6061 aluminum round stock 4" diameter 3" length, end mill cutting head, CNC machine, electricity, labor, construction, rotary mechanism, anodizing process and assembly? This is a fantastic prize! If Snap-On rebrands this I'm sure it could be a $300 tool. I personally feel like I got more than I paid for. Plus, the money I saved on an oil change makes up for the modest difference between a cheap tool and a click wrench. I've never looked forward to an oil change, so that has some added value as well. In fact, Klick Wrench is great. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with in the future.

Pros
  • Great for me
