Used this for a few oil changes just fine in the past but after some use it’s cracked and when I came back here to look at material, saw it is made from aluminum so surprised it didn’t crack sooner. Good for a cheap and easy fix but wouldn’t count on it to last long and hence the low price too I’m sure.

Been using this for my 2007 Lexus RX350 (which uses cartridge-style filters) and have 0 issues. This also fits the 14-flute conventional-style filters (for example on the 2.5L Dynamic Force 4-cylinders). I have no idea how some of yall are stripping the bolt or breaking this in half, it's a oil filter for crying out loud, it should be SLIGHTLY MORE THAN HAND TIGHT, you should not be using the strength of Hercules on an oil filter to the point a piece of aluminum literally shears itself in half

and it looks like they revised it and made it beefier. First one, lasted few years and cracked on me. This newer one should last longer...

Used this for an oil change on our ‘22 Tacoma. Worked well for this application, even though oil filter cap was mangled from the previous oil change. This wrench has multiple slots to grip differently clocked oil caps. I had to use an impact to remove the old cap and this tool held up great!

I purchased this five years ago and has been using it extensively on my Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Numerous oil changes later, this tool has held up to the demand. Zero issues. But as you can tell from many reviews, it can break/crack and there's a better way to use the filter wrench to make it last.Remember the aluminum construction is never comparable to an (impact) socket and, while you can use a 3/8'' drive ratchet or breaker bar to go with it, a better approach is to add a 27 mm socket (or looks like a 36 mm for the new model) to drive the wrench. The oil filter on a Toyota/Lexus only requires only 18 lb-ft to be tightened and doesn't really require the wrench itself for installation; you can simply hand tighten it with a heavy-duty glove. But it's common for people to apply way too much torque on an oil filter and wrench, and it'll then requires even more torque to remove it 5000 miles later. This unnecessary amount of torque, plus the fact the small center 3/8'' slot (again it's aluminum) is driven directly by a breaker bar or ratchet, may go beyond the designed capacity of the material and ultimately crack it.I am not affiliated with the seller. But as a fellow DIYer, just my cents on how to use the tool properly. After all, we don't want to break the bank by purchasing a Snap-on tool but something we can rely on with reasonable use. I've attached a couple of pictures during the removal and installation of the filter to show it's intended use.

Very good product. Excellent fit on the filter cap assembly flutes. Had to use a screw driver to pry the wrench from the cap. Could be a better fit for the notches on the tabs. Definitely a more robust, beefier wrench than you can buy at your local parts store. After my last oil change I had a leak from the filter cap assembly. Couldn't pull the cap off again because I didn't have a clean pan to collect the oil, so I put a little extra on the tightening. My mistake. I think it may have been a bad gasket that came with the filter. It was orange. It continued to leak especially on start up, while running cold. Once warm the leak would slow to barely a drip a minute. On the next oil change I ran the engine for 15 minutes with some cleaner in it. Another mistake. Heated metal expands. I broke the 3/8" fitting clean away from the wrench. I put a drip pan and added oil as needed until the next change. Got a new Oil Filter Cap Assembly 15620-31060. It came with a thicker gasket(black). Next oil change on a cold engine(overnight). Because of the powder coating on the wrench, the 26mm socket would not go on. Used a 27mm was a little loose. Would recommend knocking off the powder coat. Was afraid I would round off the fitting. Went at it with a small Ryobi 18V, 1hp 1/4" impact driver. Had to step up to 3/8" to fit the 27mm socket. 20 seconds at a time, about 10 reps. Any more than 30 seconds and the fittings might weld together. Every third rep or so, went back to the 3/8" ratchet. Was trying to avoid the breaker bar. After it came loose I cleaned every thing up and inspected for cracks. Lubed up the new gaskets that came with the new cap assembly and installed every thing. Torqued the cap to 25Nm/18Ft-lb, torqued the drain cap to 15Nm/11Ft-lb. Not taking chances with it again. No leaks. Hind sight... When hand screwing in the cap assembly, you should feel the gasket engage the lower end housing. If you don't feel any resistance and the cap assembly bottoms out on the threads, it's a bad gasket.
