Ducati's have an oddball oil filter, and you either need a special plastic ratchet attachment, a strap wrench or a wrench like this. I figured this would stand the test of time and be useful for any size filter. Channellock makes a good tool, and if you are careful (and remember which way to loosen an upside-down screw) you won't damage the metal or plastic filter body. You are applying teeth and 3 points of pressure to a thin-walled filter, so you do need to be careful. Since it's flat, I don't mind leaving it in my metric toolbox.

I've been changing the oils in all my cars, trucks, tractors, and lots more for...for over 40 years. I own about 15 different devices to remove cartridge filters, from flexible bands and chain, to lever loop, to large socket styles. I also own several pairs of very large (18") adjustable pliers. As anyone who changes alot of filters knows, one has to have the proper tool to access and grab a filter...without crushing it. I've always wondered about tools like these Channellock pliers, but never felt the need to own one....until recently, when a tractor filter got the better of me. I purchased these 212 pliers, and they did rescue the tractor filter and lots more! I've found myself using these pliers for many filter applications. Applications that in the past could have been accomplished with one of my other tools, but were performed FAR MORE EASILY with these pliers. I'm sold! These pliers simply allow excellent access, good leverage, and excellent grip without crushing. As per usual Channellock quality, the tool itself has good heft and appears well made. I'm buying three more for oil changing friends and relatives.

Honest reviews on Channellock 215 15-1/2-Inch Oil Filter and PVC Plier

First of all, I love Channellock. All of their products are top-notch and made in the USA.

Over the years I have cursed out a large number of oil filter wrenches to no avail, they all continue to suck after I let them know what I think of them. Too many split knuckles from grease monkey's heavy handed efforts in installing an oil filter. (I take my vehicles in for winter oil changes. Don't judge, would you like to be under a car outside in January? In North Dakota? Ugh.)

This here wrench is the answer. It bites on like a rabid beaver and will take whatever torque you can dish out. Filters don't stand a chance. I imagine it fits most common oil filters, other than large heavy equipment or little lawn mower sizes.

Quality wise, it's another Channellock product, meaning top quality. My grandson will quite possibly be using this wrench. And that's saying something as my son is yet but a sparkle in my eye.

My collection of tongue-lashed oil filter wrenches, both strap and basket, are destined for the scrap metal pile.

It's a great tool for stuck on things. I struggled with an oil filter on a Chrysler van, and this thing did it's job with grabbing on it with it's teeth.
