Like the "cup" wrenches, it grabs the end of the filter so it is usually pretty easy to get the wrench, extension, and a socket handle in to it. Doing my own oil changes for the past thirty years or more, I started out using the typical metal band wrench and that served me well for years. As things got more crowded underhood, though, that became more and more difficult to fit in there and then still have enough room to turn it. I have this one and the import model and those two cover everything I own in two models instead of a half dozen of the cup wrenches. I tried those "cup" wrenches which grip the end of the filter and those work well, but you end up with a mess of them because it seems like every vehicle you work on has a different diameter oil filter.On a recommendation, I tried the Lisle model out.
