Lisle 57030 Standard Filter Swivel Review

The large size of this wrench is perfect for my Dodge Double Truck. He easily turned a huge oil filter at close range. So I decided to try this for my bike.

I'm a very tall guy, and I absolutely couldn't move the old oil filter with my hands...with my bare hands wrapped in a rag...nothing.
