Whats the best and worst oil filter wrench for heavy equipment

[@ampegor]

My fave is my CAT strap wrench , second is my chain wrench and then the steel band style for small filters

[@bryanmeadows7742]

MST4568B matco one. I love it. Its so universal.

[@crawdaddy019]

Will that work on Cummins and 7.3 oil filters?

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

I have a set of SK/craftsman USA groovelock pliers that have that same jaw size opening but the handle are like half the size and I also have some vice grips style pliers that are made for oil filters

[@TheDieseldog]

Great info for anyone starting out!

[@theheavywrench9549]

Thank you

[@bryanmeadows7742]

For a old flee market find chain wrench. Those are my goto for air dryer filters

[@thatmechanicguy8773]

Chain wrench is definitely the way to go. If the band wrenches don't work and the strap wrench doesn't work, the chain wrench comes out. Bought a long 24" one from Crescent. Use it 60% of the time every time.

[@heavymachinery2843]

Phil i honestly have no oil fillter plyers i have a old gedore adjustable oil fillters strap all i use and if i cant get them loose knipex cobra or screwdrifer good Video keep up your great work 👍 Patrick

[@Mark-zv7jl]

The ol’ screwdrifter, 60% of the time it works every time

[@danohstoolbox]

The very first one that you talk about that u did not like i love that one but i use it for adjusting large pipe when i am gluing it works well for that

[@lprock4730]

Case sells a similar strap wrench as Cat, part # SC11000. Snap on makes them for Case I think, I would recommend them.

[@theheavywrench9549]

Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@clarky4492]

I have just brought the knipex xxl. And I currently use a strap nothing beats that set up for plant or hgv

[@blazebox71]

A chain wrench works well and if nothing else will work sometimes you gotta go to the air hammer

[@theheavywrench9549]

Some times

Question, I have a log splitter filter ( buyers 50gpm). I cannot for the life of me remove that filter from the housing. I've tried muscle strength and I also tried a large c-clamp. all the c-clamp did was crush the filter, but the filter is still seized onto the housing. I ordered a channel lock filter plier and I will try that. Can you please tell me what caused that filter to seize that much onto the housing? before I put in that filter, I did oil the gasket but i dont think i oiled the threads from the housing. I hand tightened the filter tho i think i over tightened it. What do you think is the cause?

[@donflewelling7165]

My Fav is the strap style you show but it has a 3/8 drive for your ratchet/extension

[@theheavywrench9549]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Tyronetrinity]

I got the one with the notches. I will get hold of that 22 cobras on of these days. Still in the bottom of the totem pole.

[@theheavywrench9549]

You are climbing

[@tommarkovich8547]

Just got my T-Rex's in today. They are giant! Thanks for the advice.

[@Toolaholic7]

Then you get the oil filters the previous person that installed the oil filter that puts them on way too tight making them stubborn to remove.These people that do this,need to stay away from doing it

[@xephael3485]

80ft lbs just like the oil plug and tires...real flat rate mechanic work smarter, not harder 😂😋

[@theheavywrench9549]

Ya I did say these were for removing filters lol but ya over tighten a filter 😡

[@Daddy848Elmo]

Hey from the UK what about a tour of the shop if you’re allowed

[@theheavywrench9549]

I would love to but I’m not sure about it.

[@ranger178]

I have the giant pair of Channellock's like you have there and they do a pretty good job on filters i can get at but those dam recessed in tight location filters really suck. where you can only reach it with a cup wrench or something they suck when you can't get in from sides just the end

[@prevost8686]

Thanks for the video.

[@AdriftAndAtPeace323]

I have those Matco pliers branded OTC and they just feel awkward. I’ve actually had little success with any filter pliers as I just don’t like the feel. I have a like a few different brands of the strap style wrenches. I have the Matco/gearwrench ones, the snap on one you showed (actually 3 of that one) and the cat one I ordered from a local cat dealer PN : 185-3630. They all have pros and cons but the cats were my personal favorite. Just wish they were a little more robust for how much they are. Have a lot of issues with the snap rings popping off on stubborn filters. Just recently I picked up some of the metal strap wrenches to try out similar to your bluepoint ones but used with a ratchet. Can never have too many tools haha

[@bluefj-wc3vz]

That's a crazy set of Cobras dude. You only use that for removal?

[@theheavywrench9549]

I have bear like paws I use my hands to tighten 🤫

[@hectorcalderon3011]

Please put a link of the good ones

[@MarzNet256]

Cool. I have a 10in pair of cobras. They are excellent and will bite hard onto anything. Also have the 7in pliers wrench as well.

[@vaughndibble4598]

I am old LOL my snap on strap wrench is made way differnt than the one you have but it from the late 70s and work grat

[@theheavywrench9549]

Funny thing is a guy broke his and asked me to have it replaced for him he has my old one and told me to keep the new one.

[@danohstoolbox]

@@theheavywrench9549 i have that same snap on one its old as the hills

[@RepairsforOats]

Great review! I use a lisle 6 inch band style oil filter wrench for the Cat oil filters and then a pair of large pliers for the fuel filters

[@tirath8623]

How many time u been told u look like Russel crow.good vedio

[@theheavywrench9549]

Not to many but it has happened. Lol thank you

[@Mike-kb3qu]

Those knipex, the strap/socket and the bluepoint strap filters are the holy trinity. Sometimes they are just so fucking tight.

[@OneMechanic]

I'm surprised that you don't have any band style that use with a ratchet? But good video buddy👍

[@bryanmeadows7742]

I love the lisle 53100.

[@OneMechanic]

@@bryanmeadows7742 Thanks, that looks nice. I have the OTC Heavy Duty Band Wrenches
