ELEAD ED70022 Adjustable Oil Filter Wrench Set, 9" & 12" Carbon Steel Pliers

For an oil change in a tight engine bay, the ELEAD ED70022 set gives you two adjustable pliers lengths to work around nearby components and grip an oil filter. The 9-inch and 12-inch tools use a five-position slip joint, with serrated teeth designed to hold filters securely during removal and replacement.

Forged, heat-treated carbon steel heads provide a sturdy working tool, while the bi-material ergonomic grips add a comfortable place to hold as you work. Both pliers are adjustable for filters from 1-3/4" to 3-3/4" in diameter, making the set useful across a range of automotive maintenance tasks.

What matters most

The two lengths give you a practical choice when access or working angle changes. Use the 9-inch pliers where a shorter handle is easier to position, or reach for the 12-inch tool when extra length can help you get to the filter. Rather than relying on one fixed-size wrench, the five-position slip joint lets you adjust the jaw opening to suit the filter diameter within the stated range.

Serrated teeth help the pliers hold a filter, including when its surface is oily. The long handles provide leverage, and the safety-edge design is intended to help prevent scratches during use. A powder-coated finish and black-and-yellow color complete the tools. For routine home oil changes, this combination of adjustable jaws and two handle lengths keeps the set useful for different filter sizes and access conditions.

Getting the most from it

Start by selecting the pliers length that fits the available space, then set the slip joint to match the filter. Position the serrated jaws around the filter before applying force. The adjustable range is 1-3/4" to 3-3/4", so matching the jaw opening to the filter helps make effective contact. The bi-material grips provide a defined handhold while you work, and the longer handles can be useful when the filter is harder to reach.

Buyers often praise the set’s sturdy feel and range of sizes, and some mention using it in tight spaces. Feedback on the grip is mixed: while some appreciate it, others say the handle covering can slide off. Comments about filter removal are also mixed, so filter access and secure jaw placement remain important parts of using the tool.

Best use cases

This set is intended for oil-filter work on cars, trucks, and motorcycles. It suits DIY oil changes as well as general automotive maintenance where an adjustable plier-style wrench can reach a filter. The two lengths offer a useful alternative to choosing a single fixed-size wrench: you can select the handle that fits the workspace and adjust the jaws for filters within the stated diameter range.

In a home garage, the 9-inch pliers can be handy when maneuvering room is limited, while the 12-inch option provides a longer reach for other positions. The forged carbon steel construction and serrated gripping teeth make the tools purpose-built for engaging oil filters rather than serving as a general-purpose set of pliers.

Should you buy it?

It suits you if you want an oil-filter tool set with two handle lengths, adjustable five-position jaws, and a stated fit range that covers a variety of automotive filters. The combination is especially relevant for home mechanics who work on cars, trucks, or motorcycles and encounter different filter sizes or access angles. Choose the ELEAD ED70022 when having both a shorter and longer plier option is more useful for your oil-change tasks than relying on one fixed-size wrench.
