May work in other future applications

The product was not suitable for my application as the space was too limited and space is required for this. Bought another wrench (eccentric filter bottom type) and it worked fine.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Damaged

Fantastic product, suitable for tools and equipment

You really can't beat this product. It works as it should. I've been using mine almost daily for a few months now and they haven't worn out or slipped yet. The only thing that would be nice is the "off" and "on" engraving, but it's easy to figure out.

Pros
  • Adds fun
Cons
  • Upgrades

Probably the best thing I've ever used

These things hold the filter. I work on heavy machinery and use it several times a day. I have yet to find a filter that this won't remove, and when I say "you can tighten it" you can tighten it! I typically use them with a 12-24 inch breaker or telescopic ratchet. They have held up beautifully for over three years and continue to grow; like I have to say, big bang for the bucks.

Pros
  • Heavy duty
Cons
  • Out of style

Easy to slip - doesn't grip tight enough

I thought this was the answer to a question about removing the large oil filter from my Cummin RV engine. The filter is 4.5 inches in diameter, so you will need a large filter wrench. In short, this wrench simply slips onto the filter. He couldn't grab the filter tight enough to remove it. Maybe I need one that's a little smaller? Also, they don't have much room to turn that key, maybe that's why it's slipping?

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Reliable and well made for heavy diesel engines

My last oil change was done by a Freightliner dealer and I know from past experience these guys like to over tighten the oil plus and filter so I needed a heavy duty wrench for the oil filter to remove the large oil filter on my Cummins RV ILS9 engine. This thing worked great. I hooked up a breaker to it and it started right up with no fuss. A word of caution, make sure it's the right size for your oil filter.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • boring packaging

Joint destroyer but works well

I work as a diesel engine repair technician in a large shop. This filter key works 99% of the time. The other 1% of the time it slips and you end up punching through the engine block or frame. Only 4 stars because it wouldn't be that hard to tighten the inside diameter of the wrench. Also the wrench sometimes likes to get stuck on its own rivets and it hurts a bit in tight spots. They work well but can be improved to make them more user friendly. Very strong. I use mine with a 1/2" Matco…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Faulty
