GEARWRENCH Heavy-Duty Oil Filter Strap Wrench | 3/8" & 1/2" Drive | 3529D

This thing is awesome. I remove and install filters from 3-8 inches in diameter ranging from 3-14 inches tall and this wrench removes them all with a 3/8 12”long handle ratchet and a 3-12 inch extension matching the filter height. Fulcrum lever theory it it’s best.

Very nice quality, very solid

Works great. Fits all filters.Super easy to use.Get this one !

with some fighting as we know if we are ripping old filters off a rig, this works..

Phenomenal! Bought a ford ranger 2000 Xl 4L v6, which had sat for a year and the filter was seized on. My hand grip was not enough nor was there any room for any other of my tools horizontally. I used two extensions, a ratchet and breaker bar with this strap to remove the filter. It takes some time to play and get wrapped around the filter. There is no retainer to it so you have to hold it. Adjustability is wide there will be a lot of extra material if your filter is less then 3 inch in diameter.I personally found the best results from pre adjusting the strap before I put it on and placing the strap as high as I could on the lip of the filter where it’s connected to your engine. Worth the money it got my filter off in 5 mins. I have used it once and hopefully will not have to use it again haha, so I can’t say anything about its durability. The nylon just caked in grease but no fraying, tears, or bending happened for my one time use.

I bought this through the Amazon warehouse. The product was used still a good product and doesn’t make me mad at Amazon warehouse. It makes me mad at these customers that buy a product use it for what it’s intended to be used for and then return it to the store covered with dirt and oil, people like that well, you know where I’m going with this. The product itself heavy duty looks solidly built. I can update the review later as I use it. and after I use it, I won’t return it. Thank you former purchaser.

My boat has a water/fuel separator filter, and it's tough to get off. This strap makes it a breeze. Just pop on your ratchet and it comes right off. I've used it for automotive and power equipment filters as well. Great tool to have in your toolbox when needed!

Did not work for me.I took my car to a mechanic for the oil change just prior to this one. I normally do my own oil changes, and I'll spare you the details on why I had to take my car in. However, the technician that put the oil filter on must have had robot hands or something, because the oil filter was dented.Anyhow, I tried a socket-style oil filter wrench, the type that goes on the angled edges around the top of the oil filter, but it was just on too tight.I bought this oil filter strap wrench and a Workpro branded one. I had really high hopes for this Gearwrench one, but it just WOULD NOT grip the filter for any amount of fiddling.Frustrated, I switched to the Workpro oil filter wrench and voila! After hours of monkeying with the oil filter the Workpro oil filter wrench got the filter off in about 30 seconds!There's a 50/50 chance that I could have used the Gearwrench oil filter strap wrench differently, and it might have worked, but i really can't see how. It's possible it will work for you, but if you ask me, just use the Workpro Oil Filter Wrench. In April 2026, it's half the cost of the Gearwrench one, and works a treat.Not sure if Amazon is going to let me post a link the the one that worked, but I'll try anyway.Workpro Oil Filter Wrench.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D69N5KDC

great service, great wrench and on time keep it up. Cheers

After 2 days of trying to open a blue water housing following all the tips and tricks we could find from Youtube including using two plastic spanners and two people twisting spanners, also heating the housing with a blow heater, and using a steel pipe as a lever on the spanner handle nothing worked. We purchased this product after seeing it recommended on Youtube. Very good quality product and it worked!

This thing is the cats ass. Unless a filter was put on with the vengeance of an ex boyfriend & the helping hand of loctite. This does everything. From 300cc tiny little lawnmowers to 32L V16 diesel filters. This filter wrench lives in my main packout box.

It works as it is supposed to.

I have not used the product yet but the quality looks good.The packet was opened inside the postage bag but I think it was customs doing a visual check on it
