No idea, but why would you want one? It looks like a really cumbersome design, and nearly impossible to use unless you have a clear area around the filter.

those are useless. You need the claw style. I have a snap on one. That sucker was worth every penny

Chinese food is another like that. (I can get three meals out of one from a local place if I add a couple egg rolls.) In fact there are many times I split the portion in half from the start with the intention of taking the leftovers home. The trouble is, some foods just don't lend themselves to reheating.

I'm with DJ. This is what I have. As you can probably tell, it's well used. I do have a couple of cap-style ones from situations where this one wouldn't fit (no side clearances around the filter), but otherwise, it's my go-to tool.

yep I have a few of those cap ones as well. But I bought the claw after the cap ones slipped one too many time and busted a knuckle

Haha. Nope. Only the occasional older couple have them on anymore. I haven't worn one in over a year. To be completely honest. I didn't wear one in public even though it was 'mandated'. I only wore one at work because it was required there

This is what I use on everything BUT my F150.



For my F150, I use filter sockets. I have one for WIX filters, and one for Motorcraft filters.

Oh, and I agree.... I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle that filter wrench would work on, GRF150. That tool looks useless to me.
