SATA GL97422 Universal 3-Jaw Oil Filter Wrench

It covers a broad range from 63 to 102 mm, which includes most common automotive oil filters found on passenger cars and light trucks.

The three jaws self adjust to fit the outer diameter of the filter, evenly distributing torque and reducing the chance of slippage. This provides a secure grip on different filter styles and makes removal smoother, especially on tight or stubborn filters.

It is designed for use with 1/2 inch square drive tools and does not require any adapter. It also supports use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets through its compatibility options.

Attach the wrench to the filter with the jaws aligned around it, fit a 1/2 in drive ratchet, apply steady counterclockwise pressure, and loosen the filter. Once loose, switch to hand to finish removing and replace the filter as you normally would.

The 3 jaw design provides a self adjusting, even grip across a wide range of filter sizes, which reduces slippage and minimizes damage to filters. It typically requires less torque and effort than pliers or strap wrenches and performs better in tight spaces.

Yes, its slim profile and universal jaw design are specifically aimed at reaching filters in confined spaces where traditional tools struggle.

Wipe off oil and debris after use, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry toolbox. Periodic light lubrication of moving parts helps maintain smooth operation and rust resistance.

The wrench is designed for standard automotive oil filters and is built with a rust resistant coating. Always ensure a proper fit on the filter and avoid applying excessive force to prevent damage to the filter or engine components.
