TOMS OIL FILTER CUTTING TOOL

Tom' s oil filter cutting tool will allow you to inspect your filters in an efficient manner. Most filter cutters work like a pipe or tubing cutter in that you have to go around and around the filter, adjusting cutter depth with each pass. Although you could do that with this tool, the real beauty of this new product is that the cut can be easily made in one pass. The task of inspecting filters can be a bit messy but it is also quick and easy to do and should be part of your regular maintenance program. The tool, as supplied, is wet up for Lycoming oil filters that have a threaded insert sticking out of the out of the end of the filter. This should cover almost all Lycoming engines, however, some of them and almost all Continental engines do not have this insert. A "center bolt" supplied with the tool can be used in these cases. To use the tool on smaller filters, such as Rotax filters, remove the cutter handle and reposition the pivot bolt to the inner hold on the base handle. The "center bolt" may have to be used on these filters as well. This tool will also work on a number of automotive filters. Click here to download the instructions in PDF format.
