Chrome-plated steel strap wrench with a no-slip nylon strap, gripping oil and fuel filters up to 6" in diameter for easy removal or installation with a 1/2" ratchet.
The Performance Tool W173C is a heavy-duty strap filter wrench, built with a durable chrome-plated steel bar and a tough, no-slip nylon web strap. Simply position the strap around the filter and turn the steel bar with a 1/2" drive ratchet for a tight, secure grip that helps prevent slippage or damage to the filter housing. The strap design adapts to filters ranging from 1" to 6" in diameter, making this a versatile tool for a wide range of oil and fuel filters, and its compact size makes it useful even in tighter engine bay spaces.
Apply steady, even pressure when turning the ratchet. Overtightening can crush or deform a thin-walled filter canister, so use just enough force to break the filter loose.
