GEARWRENCH Heavy-Duty Oil Filter Strap Wrench | 3/8" & 1/2" Drive | 3529D

Works great and the price is right

First time using the product was to break loose a hydraulic filter housing on a loader. This strap wrench was put under some extreme tension before popping a couple stitches. The canister will need to be replaced, but we were able to remove it. The loader operates in extremely corrosive conditions. The strap did not break, but gear wrench sent a replacement immediately after notifying them about the stitching that popped. Would recommend for industrial heavy duty use.

I BOUGHT THIS STRAP AS A LAST RESORT TO REMOVE A STUCK WATER SEPARATOR ON MY 2013 DODGE RAM DIESEL. I BOUGHT A COUPLE DIFFERENT FILTER WRENCHES THAT WOULD NOT BREAK THE SEPARATOR LOOSE. IT IS LOCATED IN A TIGHT SPOT BESIDE THE FUEL TANK. I HAVE HAD TO RUN A SCREW DRIVER THROUGH OIL FILTERS A COUPLE TIMES IN MY LIFE, BUT THIS POSSIBLY CONTAINING A FLAMMABLE LIQUID, GAVE ME PAUSE!! I BOUGHT THIS STRAP FILTER REMOVER MADE BY GEAR WRENCH AND IT WORKED GREAT. I DID EAT MY WHEATIES BEFORE I TRIED IT BECAUSE I STILL HAD TO APPLY A LOT OF STRENGTH TO BREAK IT LOOSE BUT I GIT IT ON MY FIRST TRY. GREAT PRODUCT!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOOL.

Already messed up. Was replaced and 2nd one is holding up much better

I do a lot of work on large diesel trucks and equipment, and this is my preferred filter wrench. It makes for a much less messy removal process than pliers or screwdrivers and hammers, and is strong enough to use with long wrenches -sometimes I have to use a breaker bar to remove badly stuck filters, and this strap wrench handles it! The design of this tool also allows for access to difficult-to-reach filters, that are otherwise obstructed from removal by hand. It works with both 3/8 and 1/2" ratchets.

Worked fine

I used it at diesel repair shop, it worked very well for removing semi truck stuck oil filters, after 1 month for not a daily use, the strap separated to a half, the socket held up very well i amazed how solid it is,, i tried to use the lifetime warranty as the box it came with mentioned that, gearwrench warranty process is not real, I filled the warranty forms and nothing came back, not even an email, I called them, apex which is the name of gearwrench company , their phone is out of service because technical issues, its been a bout 10 days, I called them many times, nothing, the problem i have a lot of tools from gearwrench, I will avoid get any thing else from gearwrench, I will get sunex, their warranty is real and exist.

Nice strap wrench, not a cheap plastic strap, but a cloth type material like my old strap wrench has.
