05 oil change wrench

[panzerkw]

Did my first oil change. Bought the KD Tools strap wrench ($35). hard nylon strap, doesn't grip worth a %#@^&*. I also bought at the same time the KD tools # 2029 square drive oil filter ($15)wrench. the $15 model worked like a champ http://www.kd-tools.com/2029.htm.



Do not buy the 35 $ model http://www.kd-tools.com/3529.htm



On another site this was the recommended strap wrench http://www.kd-tools.com/3149.htm. I couldn't find it so I choose the 2029 model.



Oil change went smooth. No biggie removing the turbo hose.



2005 CTD 3500. stock about 2500 miles on it.

Why didnt you just get the wrench that fits on the flutes on the end?

I got the last one. He shut down his machine shop due to competition from China.

I bought one of his wrenches and it didn't work very well on an '01. I had to buy an '05 just to use the pretty wrench. Works great!
