LARGE FILTER PLIERS - ATD Tools

The ATD Tools 5240 Large Filter Pliers are engineered for professional technicians facing stubborn oil and fuel filters in both automotive and industrial environments. These heavy-duty pliers provide enhanced leverage and a secure grip for efficiently removing seized, oversized, or oil-soaked canister filters, even in challenging or confined spaces. Designed for reliability and durability, they ensure consistent performance in demanding shop conditions.

Key Features

• Versatile Jaw Capacity: Adjusts to fit spin-on oil and fuel filters with outside diameters from 3-1/8" to 3-5/8" (79-92mm), reducing the need for multiple specialized tools.
• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built from rigid, shop-grade steel to withstand frequent professional use and the rigors of various equipment applications.
• Secure Non-Slip Grip: Features hardened, aggressive teeth that deliver a reliable bite on slick, corroded, or painted filter shells, preventing slippage.
• Enhanced Leverage: Extended handles are designed to provide increased torque, assisting technicians in breaking loose overtightened or heat-cycled filters with less strain.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: A durable coating protects against rust and common shop chemicals, contributing to the tool's extended service life.

Applications

These large filter pliers are suitable for comprehensive oil and fuel filter removal across a wide range of automotive and industrial equipment. They are effective on passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks, particularly where filters are oversized or access is restricted. Additionally, these industrial filter tools are well-suited for Class 6–8 trucks, buses, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, industrial engines, and hydraulic power units. Utilize them when traditional strap, chain, or cap-style wrenches fail to provide adequate grip or when additional leverage is required in awkward positions.
