DURATECH oil filter pliers set 63-103mm

Oil filter changes are one of those jobs that can go smoothly or turn into a battle, depending on what you have to hand. This DURATECH 12 inch adjustable oil filter pliers set gives you the grip and adjustment you need for removal work across a wide range of filter sizes, helping you stay in control of the job from start to finish. It is a two piece tool set that combines a universal oil filter plier with an adjustable 3 jaw 2 way removal wrench, so you can match the tool to the situation. 🔧

Key takeaways

With this 2 piece kit, you get both a plier style solution and a dedicated removal tool, which can be useful when filters are awkward, sticky, or sitting under less than ideal access. The adjustable nature of the 3 jaw 2 way wrench means it can be set to suit a stated diameter range of 63 mm to 103 mm, rather than forcing you into guesswork. For many mechanics and DIY users, the practical value is having the right fit for the filter you are working on, without needing multiple separate wrenches. 🙂

There is also an emphasis on grip and retention. The forged plier jaws feature teeth designed to hold the filter securely, including when the surface is oily and slippery. Meanwhile, the oil filter wrench includes a locking style feature described as a nylon lock nut to help reduce loosening when vibrations and torsion are present. That combination is the sort of day to day control you notice when you are working through routine servicing.

Pros

A key strength here is adjustability, because filter sizes vary from one vehicle to another. The 3 jaw wrench can be set to fit most oil filters within the given 63 mm to 103 mm diameter range, so you can tackle the most common jobs with one tool. The set is described as universal, covering a wide mix of vehicle types including small cars, trucks, and agricultural equipment, with compatibility claimed for most domestic and international brands and models.

You will also like the way the tools are built for real workshop use. The materials are stated as hardened steel with high hardness and resistance, plus a heat treated finish designed to resist rust after drops. For servicing work, that durability matters, since oil, grime, and occasional knocks are part of the environment. 🔩

Another practical detail is how the wrench can be used with different drive sizes. The universal oil filter wrench is described as having two types of adapters that can be selected, then used with any 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch adapter. That can make it easier to work with the sockets and drives you already own, speeding up the oil change process.

One point to keep in mind is that while the set is described as universal, your ability to remove the filter will still depend on access in the engine bay. If space is very tight or the filter sits at an unusual angle, the pliers may be the easier first attempt, while the adjustable wrench may work better once you can seat the jaws properly.

What’s included

This 2 piece DURATECH set combines 1 universal oil filter plier and 1 adjustable 3 jaw 2 way oil filter removal tool. The plier is described with a 300 mm long handle for comfortable control, along with jaws designed to grip securely. The wrench part is adjustable to fit the stated 63 mm to 103 mm filter diameter range. Together, they give you a straightforward way to handle different filter shapes and sizes during routine servicing.

Who it’s for

It’s a solid pick if you carry out regular car servicing, manage a workshop, or do DIY maintenance on a range of vehicles and equipment. It suits users who want a universal style kit that covers a broad filter diameter range, without buying several single size tools. It also makes sense if you value a tool that can hold onto an oily filter surface using toothed forged jaws.

It may not be the best match if you only ever work with one vehicle and know you will always have the same filter size, because a single dedicated tool could be simpler in that situation. It might also be a challenge if you frequently face extreme access limits where there is not enough room to seat jaws or position the pliers safely. For typical servicing jobs across cars, trucks, and other working vehicles, the DURATECH set offers a practical combination of grip and adjustment for everyday use.
