SUPERB-SW-4-SS-8 Metal Water Filter Housing Wrench (6 inch Inside Diameter)

This thing is awesome. The people I bought the house from probably hadn't changed the filter in 10 years. I tried the plastic wrench that they left behind and it just shattered in many pieces. So I got this one and it worked like a charm. This wrench for sure wasn't going to break! It is well built and solid. Metal beats plastic every time.

High quality wrench, precision manufacturing, good length provides enough leverage to undo the filter housing, no damage to the housing unlike other wrenches.

Wow - what a difference having the proper tool makes! What had been a struggle became an easy process. The wrench is well worth the money.

Bought this to change the plastic cover on my sediment filter. It works better than the plastic one that I previously had. Fits my filter perfectly and the long handle gives good leverage to help unscrew the plastic. Would recommend it )and it won't break like a plastic one)

Shattered my plastic housing wrench and cut my hand in the process. This was the best solution I could find and it works pretty well Pro: Longer handle = more leverage to unscrew the big blue filter. Will not break Fairly priced Con: The metal itself could be a heavier gauge/thicker. This would put more surface area on the contact points of the filter housing. This actually letft marks in my filter housing where it bent the plastic ridges a bit.

Perfect fit for my whole house filter makes removal of the filter canister fast and easy highly recommend

This is not actually the kind of thing I can say "I love", but it is a sturdy metal wrench that works well, when you first do the things you are supposed to do to before trying to remove the filter casing. For the whole house water filter, that means first turning off the water to the house and then running water inside the house for a minute to relieve pressure in the line (pushing the red button at the filter site, intended to relieve the pressure, is insufficient). Then the wrench fits around the plastic casing on the water filter (with raised wrench edges placed appropriately by the raised plastic lines on the filter, arranged on one side or the other of the ridge depending on whether you are removing or tightening the filter). Some such wrenches are made of plastic. This one is really sturdy/strong.

After the handle on a plastic wrench broke removing a filter, I figured it was time for a more durable metal one. It's durable but the tabs that engage with the filter houwing are not deep enough, so if you get a tight housing, the tabs simply tear through the plastic ribs on the housing before it comes loose. The old plastic wrench had much deeper tabs so never had trouble like this. This tool was a huge disappointment. I'd return it if I could but I am timed out because I only have to replace these water filters a couple of times a year at most. Now I'm stuck with a shiny, expensive tool I can't use.

Great wrench but a professional plumber told me I don't need to tighten those BIG Blue filters that tight...o ring should expand and seal under pressure hand right...so I just use to remove filter body now for filter changes

I ordered the SPBW-8. I received a wrench labeled SPBW-8 But, what I received had only 4 tabs. This is not what is in the product photo. Manufacturer confirmed there is a mis-labeling. Manufacturer could not tell me whether a new purchase would again get me the wrong item. No way to know when to order again. I’m stuck! Update: Amazon Customer Service suggested I try ordering again. With trepidation, I opened the package and hurray, this time it was the right product! The wrench is great - so I changed my rating from one star (wrong item) to 5 stars.

The only problem I had with this is its not big enough. I ordered the largest size they had and it will not fit my filter cover. My filter diameter is 19 inches it's an Ecopure filter but the Superb Wrench is not too superb. I am not sure if they make a larger one to fit my filter. I was a bit of a bonehead and should have measured this properly before ordering. I learned my mistake oh well. If anyone knows of a tool like this that fits a 19 or 20 inch filter cover please let me know. Thanks

I STRUGGLED FOR YEARS TO GET THE FILTER CASES OFF MY WATER SYSTEM, SO MUCH SO THAT I PUT OFF CHANGING THEM AND WAS USUALLY MONTHS OVER DUE. NEVER AGAIN, THIS IS ONE AWESOME WRENCH, FILTER CASES COME OFF FIRST TIME EVERY TIME.

Works great (much better than any plastic wrench) but the handle is still not long enough, so I have to put an pipe extension on the handle to give the torque needed to open the water filter.
