Gearwrench 3368 Adjustable Oil Filter Plier Forged Steel

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 3368 is a forged steel adjustable oil filter plier designed for gripping and removing spin-on oil filters during routine oil changes and engine service. The adjustable jaw spans from 2.5 inches to 3.88 inches in diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of filter canister sizes found on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small commercial equipment. The tool is forged from steel for superior strength under the torque demands of stubborn or over-tightened filters. Double-dipped handles provide a firm, non-slip grip. Automotive technicians and lube service professionals will find this a standard addition to any shop tool kit.

The GEARWRENCH 3368 is used in automotive and light-duty equipment service environments where spin-on oil filters must be removed without damage to surrounding components. It is suited for quick-lube bays, independent repair shops, fleet maintenance operations, and field service applications. The adjustable design accommodates filters within the stated diameter range, reducing the need for multiple fixed-size filter wrenches in a single bay. One piece is included per package.
