While I have had this since December I have not actually needed it until recently. I bought it primarily for my 2015 Duramax to help get the filter off after I had to drive a screw driver through it and slowly turn it of (Thanks Chevy dealer). But the other day I needed to change the oil in the Wife's Traverse and they put the filter in the worst spot. I was having trouble getting the filter off so I figure I would try this wrench. I needed to squeeze it into a grill hole. use two 3/8" extensions and even then I was not able to quite grab the filter. I took a few photos but it barely grabbed and yet it dug right into the filter and without any effort turned it right off! It was then used on the duramax and worked without any issues. This thing is a must even if there is a chance at a stuck filter at some point. Might never need it but at least its in the toolbox! As you can see in the photo it grabbed right into the filter and did not let go.

Looks bizarre, works great. Getting the tip video is questionable process
It was time for the first oil change in my new Hustler mower. However, the oil filter had other ideas. It must have been put on using an impact wrench. I had mangled and dented it, but not gotten it removed. Making the whole process more difficult was how hard to reach the filter was. Then I saw this device.It looks like something alien, not at all your traditional oil filter wrench. But it worked in less than a minute! Definitely recommended.There's only one thing I don't like. On the outside of the package was a suggestion to send a text to a specific number and get back a link to a youtube video with tips on how to remove *really stubborn* filters. I did this, just to see what what they'd be. The video was a series of 3 ways to get a better grip or more leverage. The issue is that this looks like data mining. Why did I need to send a text to get the video link? Why wasn't it just automatically noted on the packaging???

Does the job.
I was skeptical at first to try this design of an oil filter wrench tool but honestly it's my go to now when I can't easily access an oil filter or have trouble removing one. It has yet to fail me in removing an oil filter as I use it daily in an auto repair shop. It should only be used if you are changing out your oil filter as it can damage the external housing of the oil filter you are removing.My only issue is that it can be a bit tricky to position the tool onto the filter and to keep it in positon all while getting your attached wrench/ratchet in position to turn counter clockwise. It takes a few tries in areas where you don't have a lot of space to work with because the tool twists the wrong way and can open up (let go of the filter). You can twist it into positon to sit/grip the oil filter tightly but if you make a sudden movement in the wrong direction with your wrench/ratchet it will loosen up you have to start over again. Can be frustrating for some or a non issue for others.Overall, great tool that replaces having multipe oil filter tools. Does the job it is supposed to.

Other technicians borrow this tool from me on a daily basis due to how quickly and easily it removes oil filters
I use this product every day! The reversible feature makes this product unique, although it is not suggested to tighten oil filters with this product as you will over-tighten it and could cause damage to the filter and or your vehicle. Where this product shines is its ability to fit so many different size filters. It is my go to tool for removing oil filters in a professional dealership setting. Other technicians borrow this tool from me on a daily basis due to how quickly and easily it removes oil filters.TIP: oil product with a light oil like WD40 before first use as the tool needs to be "broken in." at first it's gears operate roughly but with a little lubrication they function great.

Good, versatile tool!
I bought a 2-year-old Yamaha XSR 900 with 900 miles, the last owner had replaced the oil filter with aftermarket filter and my cap end wrench would not fit. He had tightened the filter so tight I could not get it off with strap wrench or oil filter pliers, so I bought this wrench.This wrench worked like a charm to easily remove the filter with minimal effort.The plus is now I do not need to ever buy another filter wrench this should fit every oil filter on every vehicle (perhaps not on extra large diesel filters but who knows).Another plus was the wrench was not aggressive enough to puncture the metal filter canister which kept mess to a minimum.Good product - recommended.

I had my doubts but this thing actually works!
The first time I did an oil change on my car it took three different oil wrenches and over an hour of sweating and frustration as one of the wrenches punctured the filter and made everything oily and slippery. I also put the new filter on pretty tight by mistake, so I knew I was going to have to get something better. I was going to buy the Craftsman version for twice the price until I saw this one for only 13 bucks. It had great reviews so I thought why not, the other ones twice the price anyways even though this isn't a brand name.Guess what, I just used this today and it took it off immediately, I literally thought it was just slipping around the filter and not grabbing on (I had a different wrench do that to me) and I was pretty upset until I looked and sure enough it was spinning the filter. I also only had to use a 3/8's ratchet too even though you can use a bigger 1/2 inch ratchet. I'm probably going to get one of these for my dad as a gift

Saves time
This has been great removing stuck oil filters. The one gripe I had was it was hard to get it to stay on the oil filter deep in my f-150 as it kept wanting to loosen before I had a chance to ratchet it tight. To solve this I simply put a rubber band around the 3 tines (on the outside). This allowed me to press it onto the filter and the rubber band kept it tight enough for me to start ratcheting it off.

It gets the job done!
I had a really tight oil filter that both the band wrench & plier wrench couldn’t get off (lack of space for the handle). This did the trick!! It’s pretty sturdy for the occasional oil change. I was initially disappointed with the estimated ship time (1 month) but it changed & wound up coming the next week! Very happy with the product and seller.
