Over the years I have found six
effective ways of getting oil filters
ff now I'm going to share these my
least favorite all the way to my
favorite number six this is my least
favorite so you find the right size and
this is actually really critical and it
does work but it does slip it slips
quite a bit and this is why I don't like
it one good thing however about this
wrench is that it is compact number five
there's a lot of these strap type
wrenches and they can be effective they
fit they grab but one of the big
problems is the handle is so big that it
gets in the way of all the other parts
of the engine number 4 i'm not proud of
it none of us are but we've all done it
take the screwdriver the hammer and you
tap it out and yes it is effective and
it works it's just painful
number three I really like this one it
does a terrific job sometimes the handle
is a little bit big but it really grabs
and you can see it crushing this filter
so yeah effective number two now we're
getting down to my favorites this is
really squishy it'll conform to every
filter size and it actually because of
the rubber it grips I mean it is just
like using your hand fits into any of
those tight spots and very very
6effective number one this is my favorite
it conforms to any size actually welded
these on to get it a little bit more
grip and you put it on to the filter and
every single time this one works you can
see this one was on tight so if you like
