ABSTRACT:
An improved oil and fuel filter removing wrench that is adjustable to fit almost any cylindrical oil and fuel filter on cars, trucks, and heavy equipment. The wrench includes a toothed belt that grabs the filter and applies torque in combination with a handle and sleeve. One end of the belt is free for adjustment of the length which is used to engage the filter, and the sleeve is used to hold the belt securely in place on the handle. Additional leverage is supplied by a lever arm which projects from the sleeve. The belt is adjusted to fit snugly on the filter and does not require the user to do any additional work after it is applied to the filter. Due to the wide range of filter sizes that it can accommodate, the wrench is convenient and practical and eliminates the need for multiple wrenches or more complicated devices.
