World's Best Universal Oil Filter Wrench

List Price: $9.99

Product Details Remove all oil filters from 2-1/2" to 4" in diameter Heavy duty 3 jaw two way oil filter wrench made with heat treated drop forged steel Use with 1/2" or 3/8" square drive ratchet

Product Description

We've tried almost every different oil filter wrench configuration available; adjustable-band models are a good idea but require side clearance. We have tested on four different vehicles, each with unique and challenging filter placements. One required a LONG reach through a fender-wall flap and another in an unbelieveably cramped compact import. The filters ranged in size from 2-5/8" to 3-1/2" and at least one had been WAY over-tightened. This amazing wrench adapted flawlessly to each one--easy enough to take out the oil filter without a sweat. Solid hardened-steel construction and finished with a black-oxide to prevent corrosion; we guarantee this product with a lifetime warranty.

Doen't Work on All Sizes
The oil filter on my ATV is in a tight space where strap type wrenches won't fit. It also uses a small, 65 mm filter. I ordered three different wrenches from Amazon in the logic that at least one would work. This is the only one that wouldn't. It will adjust down to the 65 mm size but will not grip the filter. It just slips off. It seems to be sturdy and well made but is just not designed to grip on small diameters. It may work well on large filters.

Wishful thinking
I purchased this for my husband - he was excited about it until he used it - Now it is just scrap metal. While the concept of this sounds great - it does not grip - it just slides off and leaves you frustrated.

Works great for me
This wrench has worked great for me on several different vehicles. It's great for hard-to-reach filters like on my 95 F-150 and 91 Mustang GT. I didn't have any trouble with the jaws gripping the filter, but you do have to have it straight. They do make oil filters with a textured top on them that should facilitate wrenches gripping them.

One thing to note though, if you can reach the oil filter at all, you should usually be able to loosen it with your bare hand(s) unless it was put on very tightly.

Now if they could just come up with a good way to prevent the oil from dripping/dumping all over the place once the filter is removed!

Similar version works well if space allows
I actually have the Sears Craftsman version of this wrench, but down to a detail they are the same wrench. Many of Sears' Craftsman tools are just re-branded tools made by someone else.

After reading other reviews, I had high hopes for this wrench. What I found was that after putting it on my ratchet, I barely had room to get it over the end of the filter. I ended up having to use a long-handled non-ratcheting socket wrench with it, which probably resulted in my putting a lot of side-torque on the filter threads.

If I were purchasing now, I would look for a wrench that uses the rubber straps. I had a mechanic that I've gone to tell me that over the years, those have been the best and hold up well even when oil gets on them. They are also fairly inexpensive. While I will be able to use this wrench, it was not the "dream" I had hoped for.

Do not buy this!
This is probably the most useless and DANGEROUS tool I have ever bought. It's one thing if a tool doesn't work well, quite another if it makes your job impossible by destroying what you are working on. The first and only time I will ever use this tool, it put major dents in the oil filter, and did not loosen it. Fortunately I realized what was happening, and went back to my old filter remover, a socket like wrench that fits the nut like facets on the filter. It was still able to grip the filter, and get it off. Had I persisted with the Worlds best universal wrench - I would have had to have the car towed to a garage to get the filter changed!

I cannot stress enough what a useless and dangerous tool this is! Do not even think about getting it! I only gave it one star because the review system doesn't allow less.
