Where are you folks getting those filter cutters from? I want to start doing this after oil changed.

This has been discussed at length in the past.
The Longacre is one of the nicer ones, and it has recently come to light that Cat makes a nice one (though it is even more expensive than the Longacre).
People have varying success with the Summit and Jegs versions as well as using an exhaust cutter.
Depends to some extent the size of the filters you want to cut.

Thanks. I ordered one. I'm tired of how long it takes with the Dremel, monkeying with extension cords, oil spraying everywhere, etc.

I purchased a Longacre and it works, but if I was doing it again, I would purchase a CAT. The one posted here a week or so ago looked to be a superior filter cutter. Expensive but very nice. All you will ever need. You'll hand it down.
How much are the longacre and the C A T?
Is the price difference really that bad?
My wifes can opener (that we received as a wedding gift
) is destroyed. Turns out it can cut through thousands of cands but only tens of oil filters. Now I have to buy a new filter cutter AND a new can opener.

Longacre ~$56 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Longacre-77750-Filter-Cutter-Tool/dp/B005S39PWS
As for the Cat, saw one price over $100, yikes wayy too much for me to cut a filter.
My ~$15 made in Taiwan HF Exhaust Cutter has worked well for me. Then for larger than 3.25" diam., the Summit/(now cheaper at Jegs with shipping included) has worked ok. The guide wheels should be closer together.

Sayjac; would the Longacre cutter cut a filter like a 14670 Puro? It says on Amazon cuts up to 5inch diameter one. Thanks in advance
^^^14670, 3.70" diameter, well within the 2&3/4 - 5" diameter Longacre range.
IMO the best deal I've seen in USA is the one at summit racing for up to 5 1/2 inches

Jegs filter cutter same cutter and shipping and handling included, $41.
http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/80532/10002/-1
Cheapest shipping on Summit is $10 to me. So Jegs ~$8 less for same cutter. Jegs recently increased the price $2, was the same as Summit's before s&h added price.
Again though, guide wheels don't hit very common ~3" or less diameter filters.

Thanks Stewie for the info and also thank u sayjac
If you have the money buy the CAT filter cutter. I have one at home and several at work that get used multiple times a day. (On CAT filters that are twice the construction of any other filter) Blades are replaceable also.
I am leaning towards the CAT. I'm not against spending the extra coin on one. Especially on something like a filter cutter that will last me the next 100 years.
