I purchased this wrench and the similar Lisle Import Oil Filter wrench (for smaller filters). I can report that they are both well made, and they both work really well at removing stuck-on oil filters where you only have an “end view” of the filter.
Here are some specific likes:
1) The two jaws, each with two biting “teeth”, grip the filters tightly. I put my “three finger” style wrenches (which don’t grip nearly as well)into the recycling bin after using this wrench for the first time.
2) The jaws are spring loaded, which holds the wrench in place on the filter while you get in position to turn the ratchet. A nice feature.
3) The harder you turn, the tighter it grips. You may dent the end of the filter a little, but the filter will break free.
4) Between the two wrenches, they cover every size from small lawn tractor filters up through automotive and truck (F350 etc)filters. You don’t need a large collection of “cup style” filters. I put a few of these in the recycling bin as well after using this wrench for the first time.
Lisle has solved the oil filter removal issue with these wrenches.

If you have a newer vehicle, such as a newstyle Ford F-150 you cannot remove the oil filter by using any sort of band wrench that grips and turns from the side. These newer models and others with tight under hood spacing, do not allow side access, instead they have oil filters that must be gripped end on, like removing a bolt with a socket wrench. That is basically what this item allows you to do, grip the oil filter from the end with a rachet and remove it without crushing the filter, cutting off your hand, or breaking something. This is the best way to access these hard to get at filters. Only downside is you cannot put the new one on using this as it applies force in only one direction, but its not that hard to spin on a new filter by hand (usually). Cheers !! much better than the cheap plastic sockets that slip and refuse to grip the filter. I have been using this thing for many years, and after using everything out there this is the best thing for this application, and its pretty cheap too. I’ve managed to lose mine after years of use and am ordering another one.

Doing my own oil changes for the past thirty years or more, I started out using the typical metal band wrench and that served me well for years. As things got more crowded underhood, though, that became more and more difficult to fit in there and then still have enough room to turn it. I tried those “cup” wrenches which grip the end of the filter and those work well, but you end up with a mess of them because it seems like every vehicle you work on has a different diameter oil filter.
On a recommendation, I tried the Lisle model out. Like the “cup” wrenches, it grabs the end of the filter so it is usually pretty easy to get the wrench, extension, and a socket handle in to it. I have this one and the import model and those two cover everything I own in two models instead of a half dozen of the cup wrenches.
