Thumbs up Rugged affordable oil filter wrench for $3.27!!

Anyone looking for a good deal on an oil filter wrench for a 993/76mm 14 flute size, try your local Wal Mart. This budget wrench managed to remove my Hulk torqued small oil filter without even breaking a sweat! The titanium strength metal insert can handle up to 85 ft. lbs. of cranking, acording to the manufacturer. For $3.27 I've already got my money's worth, time to put that 20W-50W Mobil 1 in. I'm saving for LeMans next year.

Cool. I was just looking for something like this. My car is still in pieces downstairs because that junk wrench from kragen doesnt work.

mschafer71,

Thanks! I have been looking for one that's thin enough to fit through tight spaces.

Looks like you and I shop the same places for auto parts as I have one of those, but have not had a chance to use it yet.

Thanks for letting me know it's strong enough to do the job.


How's the weather over on Maui?

Just a note, Walmart in San Leandro does not sell it.

FYI.
I picked one, and the only one, up in Connecticut for $2.96 + 6% tax !

Thanks for the tip.

I got it in our local WalMart in Framingham, MA in March. I think they still have them. If people really need these, I can get a few and send them out, I guess.
