Sierra 18-9789 Oil Filter Wrench, Fits 2-9/16 to 3-1/4 Inch Filters
The Sierra 18-9789 Oil Filter Wrench is a formed metal hand tool built to grip and remove oil filters in the 2-9/16 inch to 3-1/4 inch diameter range, a common size for marine engine oil filters. It uses a pivoting handle paired with a tempered metal band, a design that lets the band cinch down around the filter body for a secure hold while the handle provides the leverage needed to break the filter loose without crushing or puncturing the canister. The powder coated finish in white resists corrosion and wear in the marine environment where this tool is typically used, alongside engine bays and bilges exposed to moisture, fuel, and oil residue.
This wrench has a fixed square head style, allowing it to be driven with a standard ratchet or breaker bar for extra torque on filters that are seated tightly. Sierra builds this tool to meet the demands of routine engine maintenance on inboard and sterndrive marine engines, and it is sized specifically for the mid-range filter diameters that fall between Sierra's larger 18-9790 wrench and smaller 18-9778 wrench. Each wrench ships as a single unit ready to use for oil change service.
