Oil fiter sockets available again!

[JHardwick]

This just goes to show ya.



I designed the flute pattern to fit filters for the CTD. Come to find out, the flute pattern is pretty universal and fits a lot of different filters.



I also designed the beer holder for a Bud bottle and it seemingly fits a Corona bottle too (hope you had a lime twist in that nasty stuff ) LOL



Apparently the guys who bought the socket to use as a paper weight haven't figured that out yet

PS I'll warrant the ability to hold a bottle too :-laf

Hahah yeah the only reason I was drinking it is because I had a bag of limes laying around that were gonna go bad. Good enough excuse as any to start drinking!

Any other uses for someone who doesn't drink beer?

Um, ash tray? Coke can holder? Jelly bean dispenser? Nut container? Self defense weapon? The list goes on...

Yes, if you use the newer filters with the fluted bottom edge. According to all sources, the flutes are the only difference between the filters.

The wrench has fluted sides for use with the 3G filters. I believe that you can use that filter on an '01 if you want to.

I'm jealous! I think I'm going to have to do the 500 mile break-in oil change on mine (so basically the second day I own it!). Not because it needs it, but because I want to use this beer coaster for what it was intended. :-laf

Who was making these and are they still available? I don't see anything in the classifieds, I realize this thread is fairly old. Thanks for the help.

 

[Dean Upson]

TDR member Jeff Hardwick made them, don't know if he still has them. They are a thing of beauty and work well. Gino's may have had a few, you might give them a call

I bought the last one. Jeff shut down his machine shop due to foreign compitition, or at least that's the way I remember it. Very sad. Hope he's doing well.

He hasn't been around in awhile... I hope he's found work.

Oh sure, after I buy a Lisle one from Geno's, these become available! Bummer... ...

 

[DHayden]

This thread is over a year old, I was asking if they were still available and they are not.

Bad news for you guys with the Hardwick Ent. , Inc oil filter tool. I just bought a new case of oil filters. The flutes on the end are slightly larger and the tool won't fit. The new filters have the right number on them (16035) but are labeled differently than the old batch. I supose there's no chance for a recall on these is there Jeff. I guess my tool will become a paper weight, or maybe a beer holder. I was assured by the filter supplier that there is no difference in the current filter, but putting the old and new one side by side proves otherwise. Off to buy a new tool... ...

 

[dunderkofler]

I noticed the same thing with the last batch of filters I bought but assumed it was just me. Mine's not a paperweight though since it still gets enough bite to do the job.

 

[Briman]

Mine does not fit. I tried to force it and simply chipped the paint on the oil filter. I'll have to figure out a way to modify it.
