DRAPER oil filter wrench

DRAPER offers this oil filter wrench. On many engines, the oil filter is a metal canister screwed onto the engine and changed at every oil change.

Why a filter wrench?

The benefits:

• Cup sized to the filter: it bears on every flute and turns with a ratchet.
• Strap, pliers or universal model: one tool for several filter diameters.
• The filter comes off without being pierced or crushed: no spilt oil and a clean job.

Why choose DRAPER?

Draper is a British family business founded in 1919 by Bert Draper in Kingston upon Thames, based since 1963 in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire, and run by the family for three generations. Its catalogue lists more than 11,000 hand, power and automotive tools and workshop equipment items.

When should you replace this tool?

A cracked cup or one with rounded flutes, a stretched or frayed strap, worn plier jaws: replace the wrench, it slips and tears the filter instead of undoing it.

Specifications and fitting tips

• Manufacturer part number: 61247

Cross-Mania tip: Choose a cup with the exact diameter and number of flutes of your filter, and tighten the new filter by hand or to the manufacturer’s torque, with its seal oiled: the wrench is mainly for removal.

Compatibility

Workshop tool: it works on any motorcycle or ATV. Just check the size or dimension stated.
