🔧 FloTool 10627GT GRIPTECH Oil Filter Pliers Review

I bought these because I no longer have the strength to easily install and remove the drain hose on my RV. Works very well for me.

I don't know how it works for its intended purpose but for removing the van trunk lid it's perfect! In fact, I also used it to remove a PVC pipe cover from an underground sewer.

So I was struggling to connect and disconnect parts of drain hose and thought I might have to stop camping, but this wrench made them easier to disassemble. Perfect for my needs.

Ideal for extra leverage on sewer hose connections. Should be focused on work. But I think that's a design feature of the hose connector, not these pliers. Deserves a place in my tool box.

The sewer hose fittings on our RV are very tight. I don't have the grip strength I used to have so disassembly is very difficult. GRIPTECHS makes it easy. As an added bonus, they make changing the oil filter on my bike an easy task.

In theory this is an oil filter wrench. For that purpose I think it would be marginal - the rubber grip material would likely slip over your average slippery oil filter - and that would explain its low ratings for others. It's fairly cheaply made - by no means an accurate instrument - so I'm only giving it 4 stars, which I think is one of the reasons others have rated it lower. Few mechanics will be proud to put it in their toolbox. But in its widest open position, it fits perfectly into any…
