 Only one I use March 6, 2007

This is a great oil filter wrench. It fits almost all passenger car filters and most smaller trucks. You have to have a 3/8" drive ratchet to use with it. You may need a ratchet extension as well, depending on your oil filter location.
The two pieces that grip the filter are connected with a spring. You pull them apart with your hands, put the wrench on the filter and the spring will pull the pieces into the filter. Hook up your ratchet and loosen, the wrench bites into the filter right away. Easy.
This wrench is for filter removal only. ALWAYS TIGHTEN NEW OIL FILTER BY HAND. NEVER TIGHTEN WITH A WRENCH.

I've done many oil changes, from using those plastic so called "specific ones" to metal straps, to using a screwdriver. I've even used the 3 prong ones, they didn't work as well as this bad boy. I have a new car ready for its first oil change and the factory puts them on tight. The three prong ones didn't move it at all. This thing grabbed it and was out immediately. Most times you don't even need the wrench, only if it was installed really tight.
Don't spend your money on specific sized wrenches, especially the plastic ones. Filters vary by manufacturers of the filters, not the car. The ones that specify car makes are usually the OEM ones, not aftermarket filters.
This is in reference to the review before mine. The wrench is mainly for removal of the filter, not installing. You technically don't need to tighten the filter so much that you lock it, it's not necessary. They make the gaskets in the filters thick, it compresses enough that you don't need it super tight. I would suggest tightening it and then loosen it 1/8 to 1/4 turn.
FYI. Most of the people at those parts store don't know much, not saying all, but most. Just because they've never seen such a tool like this, doesn't mean it's bad. Get the info from the people that have actually done an oil change.

This is a very high quality wrench made of very sturdy steel. It is compact and fits in tight spaces. All you need to do is attach it to a socket wrench, put it over the oil filter and turn. It grips the oil filter very well. I'm confident that this could be the last oil filter wrench I ever need to buy.

Doing my own oil changes for the past thirty years or more, I started out using the typical metal band wrench and that served me well for years. As things got more crowded underhood, though, that became more and more difficult to fit in there and then still have enough room to turn it. I tried those "cup" wrenches which grip the end of the filter and those work well, but you end up with a mess of them because it seems like every vehicle you work on has a different diameter oil filter.
On a recommendation, I tried the Lisle model out. Like the "cup" wrenches, it grabs the end of the filter so it is usually pretty easy to get the wrench, extension, and a socket handle in to it. I have this one and the wide range model and those two cover everything I own in two models instead of a half dozen of the cup wrenches.
Works On Subaru Impreza January 9, 2009

The wrench worked perfectly on my 2008 Subaru Impreza, which has a very difficult to reach oil filter that is not sized to match the existing cup type wrenches on the market. Well made and sturdy. A great deal for the price. Too bad the shipping was so expensive!
