BILITOOLS Universal Oil Filter Wrench Removal Tool Adjustable, 80-105mm (3.15-4.13 inch), 1/2" Drive

Well built, heavy duty but small enough to fit on hard to reach filters.

This was the third and final tool I needed to remove the oil filter on my Bonneville. Typical socket type didn't work, just slipped off. The three finger universal wrench didn't bite. This tool was super easy to use and grabbed ahold of the filter on the first try. I used a breaker bar, and because of the excellent design I was able to reset the wrench for a new bite without having to remove it from the filter - when you go clockwise the wrench releases, and as soon as you start going counterclockwise, it bites into a new section. This was the perfect tool to remove a dealer installed filter that the mechanic overtightened and may have forgotten to oil the gasket first. No regrets!

Little strange to use at first but yeah it holds tight on the oil filter and is easy to remove.

I like this tool very much. It is well-built and well-designed. I own 7 motorcycles and as you can imagine, that means different-sized oil filters. When you set the tool up PROPERLY - get it on the filter first, then put your socket adapter on it (1/2 inch, so the big one) and then a good, solid socket - the tighter the filter is, the harder the tool grips as you try to unscrew the filter. Unless some knuckle-dragger put the filter on too tight (with a wrench, probably), or the filter itself is just too rounded or deformed, this tool should get the filter off without destroying it.

Don't bother it slips so eaisly I couldn't get to work a single time. I even used duck tape to help grip...

I'm that guy that used the oil filter wrench to put the filter *on*. Once. Just once. Never gonna do that again. This is the fourth filter wrench I tried to untangle my stupidity. It worked.The first three didn't. One was a cup thing, one was one of those rubber belts with a handle, and the third was a skeleton grippy thing sort of like this. They're all available from Amazon, AutoZone or Harbor Freight. Upside-down on a rainy day with not much clearance, those three just frustrated me. They just slipped. The next choice after this was going to be some wicked deal where you cut the filter off and weld on some bits. That would've been truly unpleasant, assuming I didn't set my truck on fire while setting it up.This one however... I put an 18-inch breaker on it with one of those jiggly sockets and cranked. It took a little elbow grease but it broke it.Here's the moral of the story: NEVER USE A WRENCH TO PUT AN OIL FILTER ON. All y'all mechanic types know this, but no one told me. If you do make the stupid mistake I did though, this is the tool that's going to get it off after.

I do not often regret buying something, but after getting this and realizing the local fleet supply has specific thin metal cupped style filter removers, I would have gone that route for how easily this ended up turning off with a ratchet. That was AFTER struggling to get this on vertically and stay put solidly enough to be confident I was not damaging my oil filter.It begins to tighten, but only after you start the turning process to apply torque to the device, which can be a real PITA if youre in a tight space and just want the thing clamped on the filter first. I wish this had something to first fix it to the filter, before applying the ratchet and turning to free it. Instead, I was left in an insane position trying to hold it flat against the end cap of the filter, while also turning the "take up" and then luckily getting the filter to spin off enough to finish by hand.If this sound fun to you go for it...otherwise this is overbuilt for a single use instance. Maybe cool to be that guy that has the filter, so your friends can call you for it in the middle of winter.

Works as described and the quality seems to be good.
