A Permalock fastener is designed to eliminate nut-and-bolt failure. The tool is intended for filter removal, take care if using it for installation.

Compatibility & requirements

The pliers fit oil filters from 2-3/8 to 4-1/2 inches in diameter. Set the adjustable jaws to the filter size, position the bent head where it can engage the filter, and use the handles to turn it for removal. That combination is useful when a filter sits in a cramped area where a straight approach is difficult. The tool can also be used with conduit and fittings, as noted in its product name.

Who it’s for

These pliers suit DIY oil changes and garage work where a secure, adjustable grip is useful. They offer a different approach from strap-style filter wrenches: rather than wrapping a strap around the filter, the jaws grip it directly. Buyers often highlight the tool’s grip and effectiveness for filter removal, and some say they find it easier to use than strap wrenches. That feedback can help shoppers choose a tool style, while the listed fit range remains the practical guide for filter size.

The black finish and protective oil help guard the steel tool against rust. Some oil on the product is part of that protection. For a routine oil change, the adjustable jaw range helps cover a variety of common engine filter sizes without choosing a separate fixed-size tool for each one.

Final verdict

For home mechanics who want one adjustable tool for engine filters within the stated diameter range, the W114083A brings together a bent head, 12-inch reach, and high-carbon steel construction. Its direct-grip jaw design is especially relevant when you prefer pliers over a strap-style wrench, and the angled head can help when the filter is tucked into a tight spot.
