Oil Filter Strap Wrench
This nylon strap wrench is designed for removing oil filters with outside diameters up to seven inches. The twenty-two-inch strap wraps securely around the filter body while the alloy-steel handle provides leverage. It fits both three-eighths and one-half inch drive tools for added versatility.
Replaces fixed-size wrenches
Unlike single-diameter cups, the adjustable strap accommodates a range of filter sizes from small automotive units to larger housings. The jump is worth it when you service multiple vehicles or encounter filters in tight clearances where a rigid cup cannot engage.
Limited by strap friction
The nylon strap relies on surface grip, so heavily oil-coated or crushed filters may slip before breaking loose. Maximum tubing diameter is three inches, and overall length is twenty-three and one-half inches, which restricts reach in deeply recessed engine bays.

Questions about this item
What diameter filters can the 22 in nylon strap fit around?
The strap fits oil filters up to 7 in outside diameter and tubing up to 3 in outside diameter.
How do you attach the wrench to a 3/8 in or 1/2 in drive, and what step is often missed?
Insert the correct drive square into the handle end until it seats fully; the common miss is not pushing it in far enough to lock.
When should the 22 in nylon strap be replaced?
Replace the strap if it shows cuts, fraying, or permanent stretch that lets it slip on a filter.
