Probably a quick lube shop or a repair shop. Another reason why I try and do everything myself. When I get lazy and pay a shop for a repair or service I usually regret it.
This tool has yet to fail me. But once again I haven't had to use it on filters I have installed. Just ones installed a the oil store. Just had to use it on my Stepdaughters Mazda in November.

I have one of those and they are fantasticOriginally Posted By: RNMKia
I tried a smaller band wrench (crushed it), 3 jaw wrench (ultimately ripped it open), rubber strap wrench, hammer/flathead screwdriver, hammer/chisel, screwdriver through it (tore it apart). All that was left was the metal plate.
This would have removed your filter in seconds. All of those other methods suck compared to this.

I wouldn’t have known what to do with that lol. I’d probably still be trying to get it off.
I’m a mechanic but never had to deal with that nor have I seen it happen. I don’t recall ever seeing a tool for it either.Mechanics have access to tools that would facilitate the removal of that plus easier access being on a lift.

That’s good I need to get me a big pair of those channel locks.I’m not a mechanic but I have had a few stubborn filters I have had to deal with. My best results were with wide mouth Channelocks. Most of those were the factory filters.
The old screwdriver through the side might have worked on older filters but today’s filters use a thinner metal body and I would surmise the result might be not as successful.
