Title: Oil filter removal tool
Post by: richw911 on 31 August 2011, 19:57: I have lost mine so recommend me a new one.

Do you use the chain type or the ones that are like pliers?

Links would be good :smiley:

ive heard that the chain ones are easier to use however.

though ive never used one. but most garages ive seen seem to use chain type too.

Have one of these too - pretty useful on tighter access areas. Usually just use a filter wrench though.
