Lisle 63500 Big Range Filter Wrench

Engine m113. Works great to remove filter.

I have two very large whole house filters in the crawl space of the house I recently moved into. When I attempted to remove the filter housing, it wouldn’t budge. I released the pressure on the line and tried the filter wrench, filter wrench with a pipe on the handle, pounded on the filter wrench with a rubber mallet, pounded on the filter wrench with a three pound hammer, twisting an oil filter strap wrench on it, and heating the exterior part of the housing but nothing would move the housing at all. After the second day I received this strap wrench. Even this product with my ratchet wouldn’t twist the housing until I combined this strap wrench with a four-foot section of pipe and applied steady strong pressure. I had to use all of my body weight, but both housings did twist off. The old filters did have grease around the o-ring but there was no way I was getting them off without this product.

This Lisle HD Strap Tool arrived in 2 days. The first use and reason for buying was to remove a K&N oil filter with, “Lol” nut on the end. In all fairness the oil filter had been on there awhile and was stuck!!! Rounded the nut, channel locks couldn’t get a good enough grip to turn, and getting enough leverage with a traditional oil filter wrench wasn’t happening.Wrapped the strap around the filter and positioned yoke so 1/2” ratchet with 8” extension can be inserted for clearance underneath. Put floor jack handle over ratchet handle to make BFBB! Turned it “lefty loosey”! The strap took hold of the filter and it broke loose right away, Hallelujah !The design of this strap will also fit the screw ring on the pool pump to clean debris basket!This tool is an alternative to a rubber strap wrench with handle.This Lisle tool can get into tight places and allow the leverage needed to break loose what you’re removing.

If you have a water filter case that is stuck, this is the tool you need. I tried everything and nothing worked. I was ready to spend a lot more to replace the whole thing and then I saw this. It was easy to use and works great!

Works good, just a little bulky for tight places

Awesome product! Durable and easy to use!

Worked awesome! Had to use on a home water filter cover. Came right off without any srrugge
