Oil Filter Chain Wrench, 60-160mm Adjustment Range
Brief Overview
This chain-type oil filter wrench is engineered for removing standard canister-type filters across a broad adjustment range, making it an essential addition to any service bay. Built with robust steel construction and a spring-locking mechanism, it delivers reliable grip on filters from 60–160mm in diameter. The 180° swivel handle adapts to confined engine compartments and tight installation spaces. For shops managing a mixed fleet of vehicles, pairing this tool with complementary options like rubber strap filter wrenches and specialized transmission filter wrenches ensures complete coverage across different filter types and applications.
Key Features
- Double-chain construction – Two parallel steel chains provide superior grip strength and distribute load across the filter surface, preventing slippage on stubborn or frozen filters
- 23.5mm chain width – Optimal balance between contact area and flexibility for wrapping around cylindrical filter bodies
- 52cm chain length – Sufficient reach to accommodate filters at various engine positions without requiring excessive repositioning
- Spring-locking mechanism – Automatically locks the chain in place once tightened, reducing the risk of accidental release during removal
- 180° swivel handle – Rotates to work in tight engine compartments and awkward angles without repositioning the entire tool
- Hinged metal clamp assembly – Zinc-plated jaw holds the chain securely and transfers rotational force efficiently to the filter
- Vinyl-coated grip handle – Provides comfort and slip resistance during removal operations, reducing hand fatigue on repetitive jobs
- Stamped steel construction – Heavy-duty design rated for sustained torque application without twisting or deformation
Business Advantages for Resellers
- Broad market appeal – The 60–160mm range covers most standard automotive oil filters, reducing the need for multiple SKUs in inventory
- High-turnover item – Chain wrenches are consumables in professional shops; regular filter changes drive repeat orders
- Competitive margin opportunity – Chain tools offer better margins than single-purpose filter sockets while maintaining perceived value
- Reduced returns – Double-chain design minimizes filter damage and customer complaints, protecting your reputation
- Cross-sell catalyst – Pairs naturally with filter removal kits and transmission service packages, increasing basket size
- Durability builds loyalty – Heavy-duty construction ensures long tool life; satisfied mechanics return for replacement stock and additional products

Why This Tool Matters for Your Customers
Professional mechanics depend on chain wrenches because they adapt to filter shapes that single-socket tools cannot grip. The double-chain design prevents the common problem of "slipping off" during removal—a frustration that leads to stripped filters and wasted labor. The swivel handle is not a luxury; it's a necessity in modern engine bays where space is limited and filter access angles vary by vehicle model.
This tool pays for itself within 10–15 filter removals in a busy shop. Stock it as a baseline item in any automotive service package.
Order in bulk to maximize margin and ensure your customers never face downtime due to missing equipment.
