This is a well made oil filter wrench that I use for my Toyota Tacoma. It does grip well and assists in turning the filter to remove it.

The drawback that I have with it is that it is VERY difficult to remove the oil filter from the wrench once you have removed the filter from the vehicle.

I have drilled a hole through the nipple part of the wrench where the socket wrench handle goes and now I can stick a long nail through there. That gives me something to hang on to when trying to hammer the old filter out of the wrench. I had considered throwing the wrench in the garbage because of that difficulty, but once the hole was drilled so that I had something to hold onto when removing the old filter, I decided to keep it.

If this wrench had been designed with some way to remove the filter from it, it would have really been a winner.

Honest reviews on Assenmacher Specialty Tools TOY 730 73mm Oil Filter Wrench

I bought this for our 1997 4Runner. I had been using a metal one for years that didn't quite fit. Finally I got sick of that and I tried NAPA and a bunch of other places and couldn't find one that fit snugly. Then I came to Amazon. This thing is great. It fits like a glove and it's worth every penny.

I will agree with the one review that it can get a bit too tight. I was playing with it on a new filter that was not on the car. Somehow it got on there just right and really snapped into place. I had to pop the filter out with a big piece of round bar stock from the hole the socket wrench goes in. I didn't damage it, but doing so put a little dent in the top and I didn't want to take a chance of it failing. I've used it on several oil changes and have never encountered that problem while actually using it on the vehicle.

The metal seems thick and I doubt the thing will ever wear out. On the 4Runner it fit such that I could use it to take the filter off from the top of the engine vs. reaching up from the bottom which was nice (it worked equally well from the bottom too). If you're familiar with them that will make sense.

It's just a great little product.
