Does It Really Work? JM3 Oil Filter Wrench Review [Made in the USA]

Показать описание
While at the SEMA Show this year, we tested the JM3 Oil Filter Wrench at the JM3 booth. We posted the video on social media and the comments coming in were pretty skeptical. After a few weeks, we finally got a couple of our own that we can test in the shop. We'll see if it works as easy as it seemed to at the show. You can buy a single JM3 Oil Filter wrench for about $30, or you can buy a 5-pack for about $100.

I used a impact wrench to tighten my oil filter to give me something to do in a few months

Anyone who’s spent any time in a shop will know that squeezing two wrenches together in one hand can produce a ton of torque relatively easily compared to trying to pull/push on one wrench the traditional way. Seems to me like you could use one of these to tighten a filter in a really hard to reach spot as well as loosen. I wonder if they’ll come out with a ratcheting version of this tool or one that will work with cartridge style European filters. Awesome review Tim! I can’t wait to try this tool myself.

Worst filter removal of all time was when I changed the oil filter on a rotary screw compressor. Shut it down and let it cool for 15 minutes and it took me and another guy wrenching on it with all we had to get it removed. We decided to not do the next compressor until the next morning to do it cold. Same model and the sucker broke loose by hand. You learn something every day

Thank you for the demostration Tim!. The tool is cool but limited to some removal of oil filters on certain vehicles. Willing to buy it and try as it does not take much room in my toolbox.

Once I worked on a Yaris, client stated that his "friend" did the last oil change.
I had to stab the filter with a flat screwdriver to create lever because my oil wrenches couldnt get a grip. It was really tight.
Only managed to pull 2 quarts out, extremely thick, dark and smelled aweful.
Im willingto bet that the "friend" stole his oil and never did the change.

I bought one of these and it didn't work for my application which was a Toyota oil filter. I believe that the problem was that the tool was too big for my oil filter even though I told them exactly the part number of the oil filter that I was using which is Toyota 90915-YZZN1. Now these filters are truly tiny but since I provided them with this information I would have expected them to send me an appropriately sized wrench. I use a cup style wrench made by Motive X which is a beautifully machined billet aluminum tool that fits the 90915-YZZN1 perfectly and does a great job. Incidentally Toyota provides a torque spec for their oil filter which is 17.5 N-m which I do use with my torque wrench to tighten my filters.

There are some places where this would be game changing. I say this is a wonderful tool if you understand it's uses

One of the only filters you would want to use this on is an overtightened filter and this thing fails miserably. I just ordered a strap wrench - thanks for educating me on which wrench is better.

well watching you fuss with it in that bench top ideal position, there's no way I'd buy one, but the silver lining is It gave me an idea for a high pressure hydro filter wrench that really does need to be torqued down like a beast.

I was thinking of buying one, but after watching your video, I changed my mind. Looks like the inner tabs will wear out fast and it has limited torque

Wonder if this would work good for semis, would be nice if I can use it on volvo filters, isuzu filters, and external transmission filters

Okay I see the JM3 filter wrench works well on bench as gentleman did this test But try same test on car or truck after been on vehicle for 3, 000 miles in weather conditions and or in tight spot like my '86 Olds 4 cyl were your limited on hand movement with the oil filter tool Not all vehicles are easy to get at the filters to remove them some are PITA. And Never over tighten Dam filters only go as hand ✋️ Tight . "NEVER USE WRENCH TOO TIGHTEN OIL FILTERS"

Motivx Tools by far has the best oil filter wrench's for removing stuck filters. That I've tried so far.

Nothing works better than pounding a screw driver thru the filter and breaking it loose.

🤔Now you forgot or just didn't think of showing us. Just how good it can tighten the oil filter on!
