oil filter wrench

[disco gazza]

Hi all,

Does anyone know who stocks the oil filter wrench in the pic(preferably in Sydney).
All the other types of wrenchs I've used only last a few times before they bend/break/snap or just dont work.

Thanks
cheers

Autobarn - at least that's where I got mine from. Decent enough tool -they pop up at other places too.

Or get a pair of filter pliers.

I second that - they absolutely rock.

I've had one of these for years, it's a corker. I use on the bike, car and trucks.

Jeez, Gazza, you must be hard on tools. I've had my cheap pressed steel filter tool for nearly 40 years and it's still going strong. I recently bought one like you've pictured but it's for the small filters used on my bike. I got it at a $2 shop.

I got mine at auto pro but repo or who ever you use should know what your after

P38arover,
Ahhh the good old days,thats when whatever you bought it would last a lifetime,nowadays,its a throwaway society. grrrrrrrr
Give me the gool old days anytime lol

460cixy,

cheers

Gazza,

I got mine from supercrap I think up in Qld on a trip. Cost around $15 from memory. I'm not sure if they'd work on a 200 or 300 tdi but they have been awesome for the Td5. You have to squeeze in a tiny gap on the Td5 but length isnt so much of a problem. Someone else will know if they work on the older motors though.
