F@$#! Oil filter collapsed trying to remove

[MountainMichael]

One can certainly drive a screwdriver through though I personally dislike oil drizzling in my face.

K&N filters supposedly have good specs these days, so maybe that is the deal. However, I like other oil filters.

One possible advantage of the huge channel locks: Every time you turn around, these giant channel locks are a quick solution to various problems under the car or around the house.

Plus: They feel like a GIANT pair of pliers. Well, that is what they are.

I mean these things are like ludicrous. Feels like "cartoon" pliers. Hate to admit it, but I love that! ;-)

Lotsa' workable solutions here. But if ya' ever buy the giant channel locks, you'll never fight an oil filter of any diameter again.

Opinions vary. Respect to all.

These are what im referring to,

Those look excellent and well engineered for oil filters. Not what I'm using, though; I bought the giant channel locks -they look just like regular channel locks but really huge-- as they work for just about anything big. Extremely useful in a tremendous number of bigger apps. Not just oil filters..

Plus, if ya' ever need to club a charging moose unconscious, these mothers would be in my top 10! I mean, they are literally big and heavy enough to be a formidable weapon. 'Feels' like a very substantial purchase!

Meese (mooses??), back off. OR ELSE I'll plier yer furry arses. ;-)

omg, but moose is SO tasty... yum... "...tasty, tasty murder..." not sure if they would be that good when beaten to oblivion with channel locks, but who knows? I'm willing to give it a try.

vegans need not apply.. ;-) ...though moose ARE vegetarians themselves (aka, vegans without the political bullshit)
