My dad was pissed I did an oil change in my driveway tried to do it behind his back but the filter was locked on tight. I overnighted this tool and it f’n worked! D

This removal tool just saved my @$$ on a 454 Chevy. Used an 3/8 extention with a 1/2' reducer on the 1/2" breaker bar. Fit in between headers and chassis. Thanks you for the info and video. Really neat tool. The best $17 dollars I spent in my life. 😃

This tool is everything you hoped it would be. I had a stuck oil filter on my lawn tractor and in my haste, proceeded to destroy it in many poor attempts to remove it. All I was left with was the rim of the oil filter. I figured I would try this tool. Well, the tool was able to latch on to the oil filter rim and as I turned, the filter began to loosen. The harder you turn, the more it tightens its grip. This tool saved my butt and I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. Awesome!

Funny this should pop up in my KZbin feed. I was just having a heck of a time with a particular oil filter.

Thanks, it got off a mangled stuck fast filter.

[@yuwish6320]

hah, I actually need to remove a stuck motorcraft filter. perfect. ty. Even used your Amazon link.

[@orlandoc661]

Where's the Amazon link?

[@amerlin388]

Looks like anytime you back off the ratchet wrench for another turn it will lose it's grip and require repositioning. A spring action might improve this. Of course, you may only need one good turn to start the removal.

[@rubenproost2552]

Wish that stuff was 1/2" not 3/8" so it would fit the breaker bar instead of breaking the small ratchet.

[@deasttn]

yeah. i finally broke down and just bought a 3/8" breaker bar

[@groyper6567]

Use a 3/8 extension…
