What filter wrench?

Hoop, I don't know about you!

Nice looking tool but it's a bit thick to fit on some bikes with the crank sensor position.

Glider,
If I told you what it costs, you WOULD know about me!!

Let me take a guess on this one, $45 ?

 

[Hoople]

Na Na Na , not even 1/2 that. It was something like $21. But for me that IS $45

 

[glider]

Not that bad of a price considering HD gets about $18 for their stamped tin filter wrench just because it has their name on it.

Glider,
Hey Thanks! I don't feel so bad now!

 

[glider]

Funny thing is that the same wrench in Autozone or other stores will cost about $8-9 but it doesn't have the logo on it

 

[Hoople]

CNC or stamped for $8-$9? CNC would be a Bargain. I have to take a look.
All of the wrenches shown would work fine. I just love those swirl marks a Milling machine makes!!

I believe they are stamped with an insert welded in for the ratchet.

Thanks, Smitty - the dealer swapped the one they sold me for the strap wrench. Its still pretty cramped under there, and the filter was on pretty tight, but I eventually got it.

I cant remember if I read it on this forum, but whoever suggested cutting off the end of a 1 liter bottle to slip over the filter once its able to be hand loosened, and twisting the filter off with it on there, that was a great idea, saved a lot of oil spillage.
