4MECH PK-FB+9" Chain Wrench, Professional Tool Double Sided Combination Wrench  (Pack of 2)

A belt and ring-type oil filter wrench is primarily used for removing oil filters that are either stuck, over-tightened, or located in areas that make them difficult to access. This tool can work on both metal and plastic oil filters. The belt or chain wraps tightly around the filter, and as you turn the handle, the tool applies pressure to loosen the filter from the engine or other machinery. Because of the design's flexibility, it's less likely to damage the oil filter compared to other wrenches that may pinch or crack the filter. The tool is also favored for its versatility across different vehicles, machines, or equipment. The belt or chain’s adjustability makes it ideal for situations where the oil filter’s diameter varies, which is often the case in multi-vehicle maintenance or repair jobs. The mechanism can also allow for a stronger grip when more torque is needed to unscrew the filter, making it a reliable option for tough or stuck filters. In summary, the belt and ring-type oil filter wrench is an essential, adaptable tool that makes removing oil filters a more efficient and less damaging task.
