【KTC】Cup Type Oil Filter Wrench Review

nice to have in toolbox

Great tool to do the final tightening of oil filters to spec. Also great for removing difficult filters and not having to resort to the screwdriver method. This is a great tool for the older . The cheap auto parts store sockets push off the filter when you insert the extension, so if you need to lean on it, it is an issue. I like this oil filter socket wrench because I can use a socket drive or a socket with it. I have another oil filter wrench that only lets me use a socket wrench drive. It protrudes down into the wrench too far and contacts the filter. This causes the wrench to want to lift up off the filter. Very frustrating. The KTC filter, however, will also allow me to use a socket , eliminating the problem of the wrench lifting off the filter. I highly recommend this filter wrench. View detail

Confidence. Reassurance. Aha, overconfidence.

[How is it used?
I feel like I've probably been using it since the YZF-R25, maybe the R6 all along.
R25:Mileage is about over 20,000km
R6:Mileage of about 69,000 km
Of the above, I think I replaced it about 3,000 km and used KN-204 about once every 2 times, and I think I used KN-204 about 5 times out of the 2, so I probably used it roughly 10 times to attach and detach it.

Was the one you received as per Image?
It comes in a Simple box and the product is as per Image.
BlueWhite shining Gold, but not Gold like tools with a Gold feel mixed in.

How was your experience with it?
A sense of security because the tools are from a well-known manufacturer.
Oil filter used for connection and disconnection
1．YAMAHA OEM5GH-13440-50：https://www.webike.net/sd/25727395/Initial installation and one time thereafter
2．KIJIMA 105-833：https://www.webike.net/sd/20386956/Unless otherwise noted, all are here.
3.Vesrah I don't remember what it is, but I remember using it once.
Not a wide vehicle in Space, but can be used by fitting tightly into the Filter
I used it with a 9.5sq Ratchet and it didn't come off.
I'm not sure if it's a little forward or a little oblique, but it's a little good.:I tried to remove the Filter while it was still set and licked it to a large. 。 It is a solid tool, but it cannot be handled carelessly because of overconfidence.

[Points to note]
As mentioned above, even a good tool will fail if handled carelessly.

How did it compare to other products?
・KN-204：https://www.webike.net/sd/19861663/Although this is not a pure tool comparison, KN-204 is easier in terms of attaching and detaching filters. In terms of price, the KN-204 is the better choice for long-term use, and it is the only product that can handle with MagnetFilter.


It is a product of a well-known manufacturer, which makes maintenance fun just by owning it. The weight of the product also gives the impression of solidity. However, it does not allow for improper use, so I feel that it will lead to careful maintenance of my car. View detail

Castings, good stuff (cold! (Gobble!)

I was heartbroken by the DAYTONA product, so I hung on to KTC.
Although the company is an expensive Image, we were able to purchase the product at a reasonable price, perhaps benefiting from the Large volume production.

The DAYTONA-made steel plates were thin and expanded when Torque was applied, but the KTC-made plates were made of heavy cast metal.
It fit tightly into the OEMFilter and loosened easily.

I had a terrible prejudice against cast metal as cheap, but my view has changed 180 degrees.
Quality and Rigidity. Come to think of it, Wheel was Casting too.... View detail

Solid Filter wrench

Used in GSX-R1000R 2019

Size66.5 corresponds to SEA BASSOEM's Cup type Oil filter.

SEA BASS cars, in general, have oil filters that are specified to be tightened stiffly.
It is 720 degrees from seating, not Torque indication.

If you use a filter wrench that is not accurate enough, you will get a "slippery" result.
Once it is wet, it is no longer good.
You will have to struggle to remove it with that kind of parpray.

I have been using SEA BASSOEM's Filter wrench for about 8 years now.
Some overuse over the years. (?) I guess my addiction has become too much for me, but the other day I finally got it.
When it came to removing the naff Oil Filter, it was a Large strange thought.


So, we purchased this product instead.
Compared to SEA BASSOEM, the range of the surface is deeper, or perhaps the Fit feeling when fitted to the Filter is better here.
The thickness of the wrench is also thicker, and the inner shape is more precise, so I think it will last longer.

Note that the hexagonal part that pops out has a two-sided width of 24mm and SEA BASSOEM (17mm) The size is considerably larger than the
Basically, the drain bolt on SEA BASS cars is 17mm wide on two sides, so the OEM product is very easy to work with in terms of its wrench.
However, this product is not exclusive to SEA BASS, so it cannot be helped.

Ratchetetc. will require ridiculously large Glasses when used with models that are strictly height-oriented, so be prepared for that.
If not, a 9.5sq Ratchet can be used.

In addition, it is necessary to carefully examine the oil filter to be used and to observe the torque for tightening.

The wide range of size lineups makes it a good choice for those who want a filter wrench. View detail
