This invention is directed to a filter removal tool comprising: a cup configured to engage with a filter so that rotating the cup rotates the filter; an opening in a shaft or cup and extending through the cup so that when a puncture cap that can be received into the cup punctures the filter, fluid flows from the filter out of the cup. The shaft can transition from a first position to a second position wherein the puncture cap can puncture the filter in the second position. A wrench or other tool can be used to remove the filter using the cup. The cup can be secured to the filter with a magnet or collet assembly. A tube can be connected to the cup to direct fluid that exits the filter. An impact member can be used to force the puncture cap into the filter.

A device for removing an oil filter includes a sleeve. The sleeve includes a grip portion and a reservoir portion. The grip portion includes a wall and a plurality of spacer ribs. The wall is disposed about an axis and defines a filter cavity open through a first end of the grip portion to receive the oil filter therein. The spacer ribs extend radially inward from the wall and are configured to engage the filter. The reservoir portion extends from a second end of the grip portion and defines a reservoir cavity open to the filter cavity. The sleeve is movable between an extended position in which the reservoir portion is below the grip portion and a nested position in which the reservoir portion is at least partially nested within the grip portion.

An oil filter wrench includes a handle, a rotation knob, a wrench unit, and a oneway control member. The wrench unit includes a threaded rod, an adjusting member, a restriction piece, a clamping member, two screw members, a support member, and a fixed member. The oneway control member is pivotally mounted in the fixed member. Thus, the clamping member and the oneway control member clamp and drive the oil filter to rotate in a oneway manner only.

A disposable oil filter containment sheath is provided for use during oil changes for combustion engines. The sheath has a closed bottom, a cylindrical sidewall, and an open top. The resilient sheath is rolled to an initial collapsed position for placement on the bottom of an oil filter mounted on the engine, and it is partially unrolled along the filter. The filter can then be loosened to allow oil to drain into the sheath for capturing a reservoir. After the filter is removed from the engine, the sheath is completely unrolled and tied at the top so as to fully enclose and contain the oil filter and oil. The sheath and its contents are then ready for disposal.

A drain tool assembly adapted to couple to a housing without causing fluid to flow from the housing until moved to a draining position. The drain tool assembly avoids fluid spillage by sealing a body to the housing and then engaging a plunger of the housing by moving and locking a sleeve to initiate a flow of fluid from the housing.

A removal tool for a filter insert of a liquid filter. The removal tool includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis. At a distal end, the body includes a first arm and a second arm, the two arms extending essentially in parallel to the longitudinal axis and being spaced apart from one another. The two arms are elastically reversibly deflectable toward one another. A retaining element is situated at the first arm. In an open state of the retaining element, the two arms may be moved toward one another. In a closed state of the retaining element, the retaining element couples the two arms to one another and blocks a movement of the two arms toward one another.

A removal tool for a filter insert of a liquid filter. The removal tool includes a first arm having a first outer side, the first outer side extending along a first axis. It furthermore includes a second arm having a second outer side, the second outer side extending along a second axis. The first arm includes a first hook, which projects from the first arm essentially transversely to the first axis. The second arm includes a second hook, which projects from the second arm essentially transversely to the second axis. The first outer side and the second outer side are connected to one another with a swivel joint having a joint axis.

A portable workstation platform is disclosed. The portable workstation platform includes a base and an accessory mount secured to a first surface of the base. An accessory locking fixture is coupled to the accessory mount. A pair of clamp fastening tabs is secured to the first surface of the base. Further, a multi-functional clamping device that includes the portable workstation platform is disclosed. The multi-functional clamping device includes a handle portion comprising a vice grip handle and a clamping portion coupled to the handle portion. The clamping portion includes opposing clamps, wherein the base of the portable workstation platform is one of the clamps and the pair of clamp fastening tabs on the base is configured to receive the clamping portion. A second accessory mount may be coupled to the clamping portion of the multi-functional clamping device.

An oil change device having a bowl-like oil-change body defining a cavity for capturing run-off oil is provided. Extending upwardly from a central portion of the cavity is a tubular sleeve that a ratchet extension slides through. A seal element is provided along the tubular opening at the distal end of the sleeve, so that the ratchet extension and the sleeve form a liquid-tight seal. The ratchet extension operatively associates a ratchet with the oil filter wrench, which in turn loosens an oil filter. Thereby, excess oil drains down the ratchet extension, over the sleeve-extension interface and into the cavity when a user is changing an oil filter. Furthermore, the ratchet can be removed from the ratchet and the user can rotate the oil-change body to remove the oil filter.
