A piece of plastic that does its job very well

This special wrench is just a piece of plastic so expensive for the price. It's very good at what it does and makes removing the filter a lot easier.

Pros
  • Water filter and softener
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Cracked Under Stress

I used this to remove the reverse osmosis housing and it immediately buckled and cracked. I'm sure the case was tightened a bit, but for that I need the key - to remove it. I will look for a stronger version next time.

Pros
  • Kitchen & Bathroom Fixtures
Cons
  • Secret

It fits Watts WP-4V

The WP-4V's case is a bit oddly sized and seems like the only key that fits. inner and outer key ring. I assume this will fail as the plastic is quite flimsy. I recommend SuperLube food grade silicone oil for o-rings and rubber.

Pros
  • Spare under sink water filter
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Cracked under load

I used this to remove the reverse osmosis housing and it immediately bent and cracked. I'm sure the case was tightened a bit, but for that I need the key - to remove it. I will look for a stronger version next time.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Fits Watts WP-4V

The WP-4V has a slightly unusual case size and seems to be the only key that fits. The first wrench I cracked in the bridge between the inner and outer rings of the wrench. I'm assuming this one will fail as the plastic is pretty flimsy. I recommend SuperLube food grade silicone oil for o-rings and rubber.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

I have ordered a new reverse osmosis housing with a knurled end cap. It fit perfectly and worked really well to tighten it up. However, I have a 20 year old reed case with a smooth end cap and it won't work for that. The other end fitted and worked perfectly for my sediment and charcoal filter housings. Just obviously rotate in the same plane as you so you don't kinda break it in half. True, this is not the most durable plastic, so you need to be careful. My 20 year old case-only key is also…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires outlet
