    I seen one of our fellow members post a picture with this oil filter wrench. I'm thinking about ordering it. I have an oil filter universal tool kit which worked great first few oil changes but now my housing is slightly round now. I had to slap some cardboard and tap the tool on. Anyone have any luck with this one?

    Yeah, I have a cheap stamped steel one, and it has functioned perfectly for me. However, those typically aren't strong enough to cope with a filter cap that has been grossly overtightened---as many shops tend to do.
