Using this adjustable filter removal tool in our industrial and scientific workplace has been a game changer. Our team found it to be easy to operate, and most importantly it removed filters cleanly without damaging delicate parts. The ratcheting mechanism made the job faster and smoother than our previous tools .The durable aluminum construction also gives us confidence that it will last through many uses. The only downside is that it doesn't come with a storage case, but that's easy to overlook with how reliable and efficient it is. Overall, a great addition to our industrial hand tools collection..
