ABSTRACT:
A wrench for firmly grasping a vehicle oil filter during installation or removal thereof; the wrench including a bolt or rod which one end has a hexagonal head for being grasped by a conventional wrench, the bolt having a long slot through which an endless fabric strap is fitted, and which in use fits around the filter, so that when the bolt is then rotated, it winds up the strap tightly around the filter and firmly grasps it, in order that the filter can then be rotated and screwed or unscrewed from the vehicle engine; the device in a modified construction having the bolt slot extending from the hexagonal head end so to be stronger.
