The band-style design wraps around the filter housing and pivots into place, letting you break a stuck filter loose without crushing or puncturing the canister the way a strap wrench can. Its tempered metal band is sized for filters measuring 2-7\/16 inches through 3 inches in diameter, matching the compact filter housings used on small outboard motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is alloy steel with a powder coated black finish for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and the pivoting handle gives extra leverage in tight engine compartments where clearance around the filter is limited. Because it uses a mechanical band-and-handle action rather than a socket, it works even when a filter has been overtightened or has started to corrode to its mounting surface. This wrench is sold on its own as a standalone tool for routine oil and fuel filter service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-9778\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil Filter Wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-7\/16 inches thru 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small outboard filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powder Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pivoting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282186906\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size filters does the Sierra 18-9778 oil filter wrench fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-9778 fits filters ranging from 2-7\/16 inches to 3 inches in diameter, which covers the small canister-style oil and fuel filters used on small outboard engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-9778 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This tool is used to remove and install screw-on type canister oil and fuel filters on small outboard motors, gripping the filter housing so it can be loosened or tightened by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 18-9778 wrench made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from alloy steel with a powder coated black finish, giving the tempered metal band the strength needed to grip and turn a filter housing without slipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-9778 have a pivoting handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-9778 has a pivoting handle that lets you angle the tool for better leverage when working in tight engine compartments around the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-9778 oil filter wrench weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-9778 weighs 1.75 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-9778 a strap-style or band-style filter wrench?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a formed metal band-style tool rather than a rubber strap wrench, using a tempered metal band and pivoting handle to grip the filter canister.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-9778 work on larger inboard or I\/O engine filters?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-9778 is sized for 2-7\/16 inch to 3 inch filters and is intended for small outboard filters; larger filter housings require a wrench sized for that larger diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color and finish does the Sierra 18-9778 come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-9778 has a black powder coated finish over its alloy steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-9778 genuine Sierra or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-9778 is a genuine Sierra branded oil filter wrench, manufactured and sold under the Sierra part number 18-9778.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the box with the 18-9778?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-9778 ships as a single standalone oil filter wrench tool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988437250267,"sku":"SIE-18-9778","price":17.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-9778__27853.1722500569.500.750.jpg?v=1785188504","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-9778-oil-filter-wrench-for-small-outboard-filters-2-7-16-in-thru-3-in","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
