Oil filter wrench Gedore 8117420, 3-arm adjustable, 60–120 mm

Gedore oil filter wrench 3-arm adjustable 60–120 mm is a hand tool designed to remove and fit cylindrical oil filters with diameters from 60 to 120 mm. The three-arm construction ensures a concentric, secure grip around the filter, distributing torque evenly to reduce the risk of slippage or damage to the filter housing. The tool is intended for use in workshop environments and mobile service work for cars, vans and light commercial vehicles.

Advantages

The three-arm adjustable design provides stable engagement on a wide range of filter diameters without needing multiple fixed-size tools. Even torque distribution across the arms reduces localized pressure on the filter casing, while the adjustable mechanism allows quick adaptation between different filter sizes. The tool suits confined spaces where grip and accessibility are limited, and its robust construction offers durability for repeated professional use.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing cylindrical oil filters with diameters between 60 and 120 mm
• Automotive maintenance for cars, vans and light commercial vehicles
• Workshop and mobile service technicians performing routine oil changes

Key specifications

• Adjustable clamping range: 60–120 mm
• Three-arm gripping mechanism for even torque distribution
• Intended application: cylindrical oil filters
• Hand-operated tool suitable for workshop and mobile use
• Construction designed for repeated professional use

How to use

Position the three arms of the wrench evenly around the circumference of the oil filter so that the gripping surfaces contact the filter housing. Adjust the tool to the correct diameter within the 60–120 mm range, then apply steady turning force to loosen or tighten the filter. Ensure the tool remains concentric to the filter throughout the operation to maintain secure grip and avoid slippage. After use, release the adjustment and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the filter housing for oil contamination and debris before applying the wrench; clean contact surfaces if necessary. Use steady, controlled force rather than sudden impacts. For filters with damaged or corroded housings, take extra care to avoid further damage and consider using a backup method if the wrench cannot achieve a secure grip.
