What this tool solves Removes cartridge‑style oil and fuel filter housings quickly and without slipping or damage. No more fighting with rounded caps or wasting time during oil or filter changes. Low-profile, flat design gives access where standard sockets or wrenches cannot reach. Key benefits Secure, efficient removal: 6-point design grips the filter housing at multiple contact points for reliable engagement and effective torque transfer. Fast attachment: Designed for a 3/8-inch socket/ratchet drive so you can use common hand tools for fast service. Low-profile access: Flat construction lets you reach filters in tight spaces under intake hoses or in confined engine bays. Built to last: Made from chrome‑vanadium steel with a matte finish for durability and corrosion resistance under workshop conditions. What makes it stand out Specifically sized for cartridge-style filters: 36 mm 6-point socket created to fit common oil and fuel filter canisters precisely. Compact, workshop-ready form factor that works with standard 3/8-inch drives for quick, repeatable service. Typical use cases Routine oil change: Use with a 3/8-inch ratchet to remove the cartridge-style oil filter housing cap on passenger cars where a low-profile tool is required. Fuel filter service: Safely remove fuel filter canisters mounted in confined engine compartments without rounding the housing nut. Tight or obstructed locations: Remove filter housings located beneath intake plumbing, brackets, or closely packed components.
