This cutter is simple and works great on champion and tempest oil filters.

Steel from which this product is made is untempered mild steel, bends easily. I suggest that the person whow answered this first review try it himself on a Rotax filter, while following the instructions.

Toms Oil Filter Cutting Tool

It works surprisingly well.

Works as advertised.

This oil filter cutter works great on CH48110-1 oil filters. I do think a vice is required to secure the filter, but ease of use exceeded my expectations. The filter end cut off with a single revolution of the tool.

A friend gave this oil filter cutter to me as he couldnt figure it out, I found it extremely easy to use, place it on a filter (in my case a CH48110) grab only the handle that has the cutting wheel attached and pull it all the way around the filter, make sure you are pulling in line with the filter and the can will be cut on a single pass, done couldnt be easier. Ive tried the pipe cutter style and although they work perfectly fine, they are much slower and cost twice as much. Ive also used it with car oil filters (you have to adjust the pivot pin location) and it works fine there too although car filters are much thinner and it is difficult to hold them in a vise without distorting them.

I’ve use it 6 or more times and found it solid and strong. No chance of bending or breaking. I cut Champion filter used on my Lycoming. Never a problem cutting them. At first I do rock it back and forth then pull it all the way around. Pretty straight forward to me. Mine is made of Heavy duty steel and could only be bent if used incorrectly.

I bought one of these a few years back and it works great. Put the filter in your vise to hold it steady. Replacement cutter blades available at any hardware store.

Piece of junk, maybe Im spoiled with the oil filter cutter at work. This cutter wanders up and down the filter ( male threads) And takes multiple passes. Then you end up just tearing the top of the oil filter off. Its also too small for typical aviation oil filters. Yes I have read the instructions and watched the video.

A&P/IA, Ive been using this cutter for over a year now. It cuts perfectly the first time with a new blade after that it takes a few passes. If you have a filter with other than female threads of the same size as the provided bolt youll need to get additional hardware to keep the cutter straight, otherwise it wanders up and down as you go around the filter. Would not recommend, should have bought the Air Wolf or similar, was trying to save a few bucks.

Sadly they did not use a grade 8 bolt for the pivot a mere AN 3 was used. Additionally, the nicely-black coated handles were weak, and bent when trying to penetrate the can so that I had to hammer-and-anvil them more flat back to the design criteria. The handles seem to be low-carbon steel based upon a grinding-wheel spark test so cannot be hardened. I think I may give it to the neighboring I.A. who has been pencil-whipping annuals anyway. Also the worst part is that they are self-camming when rotating around the filter, making cuts a series of chisel entries and not hugely controllable. I hope this yelps all yall.
