LIBRATON Strap Wrench - Universal 2PCS Adjustable Filter Wrench Set, Oil Filter Spanner for Plumbing, Shower Heads, Jar Opener

Strong grip 💪🏻

Brilliant! Got me out of trouble quite a few times! tightened an out of reach built in cistern pipe, impossible with a standard spanner, nipped up a chrome basin waste kit to stop a leak without damage to the chrome, easily opened a seized heating filter, these straps are awesome!

A good tool and fun for opening jars of food too.

These are much easier to use with restricted access and/or one-handed than the simple ones where the strap is jammed by serrations in the reaction face of the handle, and thus flops about and slips until it has a working load on it. The use of a pivoted cam to jam the strap on these wrenches makes them much more effective, and also should be better than the ones with a side trigger: although as easy to position initially as these ones, they probably aren't as effective at jamming up as you put load on. Both items seem well-manufactured: the cam pivot is an obvious potential weak point but if well designed the load in it should be self limiting; I've given 5 stars for sturdiness for now but if this is a problem I'll let you know... I wish they were sold singly: the small one is particularly useful (I bought 2 sets in order to get 2 of these) so given that these are expensive compared to the opposition its a bit of a waste of money having to buy big and small together if you don't really need the big one. It looks like the same design is starting to become available cheaper under different branding, so we'll see if they also get unbundled.

Excellent strap wrench for price, good strap length to allow good leverage, I used it to loosen water filters

Not worth it.

I had one a few years ago but lent it out and never heard of it again,

The large one is the only one I use due to the size of engines I work on, not quite enough leverage for some filters however if it was longer it wouldn’t fit on some other filters. The grip is great unless there’s any oil on the filter so make sure to have brake clean to hand, been using it for around 3-4 months, no damage to it and I still use it.
