FAQs

What size filters does it work with?

The wrench is designed to work with oil filters up to 120mm in diameter.

What type of drive is required?

It can be used with either a 1/2" square drive accessory or a 13/16" AF open-end spanner.

Can I use it on other types of filters?

This wrench is specifically designed for canister-type screw-on oil filters.

How do I maintain the wrench?

Clean the strap and the wrench after use. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

What if the filter is too tight?

Apply more force and consider using a longer extension bar for leverage. In extreme cases, a filter might need to be penetrated with a screwdriver.

What if the wrench slips?

Ensure the strap is correctly positioned and tightened. Clean the filter of any oil residue.

Is the strap replaceable?

The strap is durable, but not designed to be individually replaced. Consider replacing the entire wrench when the strap is worn.

Troubleshooting

Wrench slips on the filter.

Ensure the strap is properly positioned and tightened around the filter. Check for any oil residue on the filter and clean if necessary. If the filter is severely damaged, use a different removal method.

Wrench doesn't fit the filter.

Verify that the filter's diameter is within the 120mm range. If the filter is too large, a different wrench may be needed.

Difficulty loosening the filter.

Apply more force, making sure the wrench is securely connected to the drive. Consider using a longer extension bar for added leverage. If the filter is extremely tight, penetrate the filter with a screwdriver.
