“Craftsman oil filter wrench will remove those tough filters.”
I typically use the cup style wrench to remove oil filters. I have a nice set with a variety of sizes. Every now and then, the combination of an extra tight oil filter and an oil filter made with thin metal happens. The cup wrench slips and the filter won't come off. The Craftsman wrench comes...

Craftsman Universal Oil Filter Wrench, Auto... Reviews
I had this wrench for almost a year and it never failed to rip off an old, stuck on filter but it did have one fault straight out of the off the box. The arms that actually grab the sides of the filter are a bit too rounded for a fresh tool. In the beginning I found that it would slip a little then catch and run the filter off which was fine but but not what I expected from Craftsman. A little grinding of the flats on the arms and everything was all right after that. There's nly two other small problems with an otherwise great tool. The first problem was the rivets, after repeated use...

This oil filter wrench from Craftsman is a great tool to have for any oil change. This makes getting even the tightest of oil filters off of a car with little effort. It simply goes on your 3/8 ratchet of choice, put it on the filter and turn. Next thing you know the oil filter's tight seal has broken free and you can remove it with ease. With the use of an extention between this and your ratchet you can get if the hardest to reach filters removed.
This filter wrench works very well at getting off stubborn filters and I really like how easy and effective it grabbed the filter once I applied torque to the wrench. I disliked however that mine does not have a little grove in the ratchet slot to hold it on the ratchet and the first time I used it, after I got the filter loose, it fell off the ratchet and into the oil drain pan. That is not enough to deter me from using it because it still works excellent and I can use it on almost any car that you can get a filter cap wrench in there to take the filter off. Really it would be perfect if...

I bought this oil wrench to use on my lawn tractor and my car with the reccomendation of an employee in the Sears Auto Department. I have used it once on each so far and it has worked great. It is easily attached to a ratchet and locks on to the different filters well .
This tool saved me from having to have my '03 VW GTI towed into a shop to remove the oil filter from my car. I had previously destroyed the oil filter thinking if I can get it all cut away from the flange I could get it off somehow. That didn't work and in retrospect was a silly idea. I bought this gem from Sears.com and within seconds the remnant of my oil filter was off the vehicle.
I'm a mechanical engineer who designs steel equipment as well as structures. I have to say the construction of this tool is excellent. Very sturdy and heavy. It takes just a few seconds to kind of squeeze...

I love this oil filter wrench. i work at ford doing mostly oil changes and i use it all the time. We have the metal strap wrenchs and they never seam to fit in the locations of the oil filters but mine will. This is also a better guality then others of the same type. one of the techs at my work has at 3 prong one from cornwell and his has broken twice and mine is still going good.
Found this on the internet search this is the best tool ever..The last two filters have come off with screwdriver and hammer. This is the best..Don't forget warrantied forever too I only buy craftsman tool they are the best!!!
I purchased this about two weeks ago. It's great for getting the filter off my truck and my car. Plus I used it on my friends Jetta with the black canster that holds his oil filter in place. YOu don't have to burn your hands anymore attempting to get the oil filter changed. And you have to love that. Totally worth the price.
Bought this and was a little disspaointed. Wasn't as easy as I thought. Had trouble with the teeth slipping. Took it back for a refund.
