Synthetic fiber belt coated with flexible plastic grips oil filter caps up to Ø160 mm diameter. The 22 mm wide strap features multi-layer construction for high tensile strength. Chrome-vanadium handle with plastic grip measures 230 mm. Replacement belt available separately under code 187-E160. Weight 300 g.
Strap wrench oil filter tools use a flexible belt to grip cylindrical caps without damage. This model handles diameters up to 160 mm. The belt is woven from synthetic fiber and coated with a high-friction plastic compound. Multi-layer construction delivers tensile strength while the 22 mm width distributes clamping force evenly.
The jaw features fine serrations that bite into smooth metal surfaces. Chrome-vanadium steel forms the handle body. Nickel-chrome plating resists corrosion. A rigid plastic sleeve covers the grip zone for comfort and durability. Total tool length is 230 mm.
The belt consists of synthetic fiber strands woven into a flat strap. A flexible plastic coating covers both surfaces. This coating increases friction against oily metal. The 22 mm width prevents the belt from cutting into soft aluminum housings. Multiple layers stack to resist stretching under load.
The jaw clamp holds the belt loop in place. Fine serrations on the jaw face grip the belt without slipping. As torque increases, the belt tightens around the filter cap. This self-locking action prevents rotation during loosening.
Chrome-vanadium steel provides strength and flexibility. The handle is forged in one piece to eliminate weak joints. Nickel-chrome plating protects against workshop chemicals and moisture. A hard plastic sleeve covers the grip section. This sleeve resists oil and solvents.
The frame geometry allows clearance around filter housings in tight engine bays. The 230 mm length provides leverage without excessive bulk. Total weight of 300 g balances control and portability.
Automotive workshops use this tool to remove spin-on oil filters and cartridge filter caps. The adjustable belt fits various diameters without requiring multiple tool sizes. Mechanics apply it to engine oil filters, transmission fluid filters, and hydraulic system housings. The non-marring belt protects aluminum and plastic caps from scratches. It also works on fuel filter housings and coolant system components where a smooth finish must be preserved.
The belt wears after repeated use in abrasive or high-torque conditions. Replacement belts are available under part number 187-E160. To replace, release the jaw clamp and slide the old belt out. Thread the new belt through the jaw and adjust tension. Inspect the belt before each use for fraying or loss of coating. Clean the tool with solvent to remove oil buildup. Store in a dry location to prevent corrosion of the steel frame.
