I had a house water filter that would not budge and come off. It's quite common as it turns out due to the pressure that is put though though the water system kind of seals the filter on. I tried everything to get it off. Even had my 20 something nephew try and he actually broke the wrench that comes with the filter trying to get it off. I went online and found a video of a guy trying to get his water filter off and he had a number of different suggestion. Near the end of the video he says if all else fails, get one of these strap filter wrenches. I bought the exact same one as in the video, it was like magic. I wished I made a video of all the effort and pain that went into the attempts without the Lisle strap filter wrench, and how easy the project was with it. I'm sure it would have helped. My suggestion is if your a handy man around the house, buy one sooner or later you will need it. If you have a stuck filter, order one . Now I will admit, I actually didn't use your standard wrench with this. I had a 2 1/2 foot breaker bar (which I use on stuck Auto bolts) to give me more leverage and it has the same male adapter as a ratchet wrench, which fit the strap wrench. My filter was seriously stuck. Before using this strap wrench, I thought I was going to have to cut the filter out. I was so pleased and satisfied I would have given it more than 5 stars.
