K Tool 73601 Filter Wrench, 2-7/8 to 3-1/4 Inches
K Tool 73601 is a handled oil filter wrench for the listed 2-7/8 to 3-1/4-inch diameter range. Its swiveling handle changes the approach angle in a restricted engine compartment. Unlike an end-cap wrench, it grips around the filter, so check the side clearance as well as diameter.
Specifications and included details
- Filter diameter range 2-7/8 to 3-1/4 inches.
- Swiveling heat-treated handle with yoke-and-link assembly.
- Powder-coated finish; package quantity one.
Before ordering
Measure the filter and confirm room for the band and handle movement. No vehicle fit map or operating torque limit is specified. The swivel feature improves approach options but does not guarantee access in every installation.
Product questions and answers
Does it require a separate ratchet?
The pictured and described tool has its own swivel handle. A square-drive connection is not specified.
Will it fit a filter larger than 3-1/4 inches?
That is outside the stated upper limit. Select a wrench with the appropriate verified diameter range.
Is this an end-cap style wrench?
No. The reviewed tool wraps around the filter with a handled band arrangement, rather than engaging a fluted end profile.
