    Well that's a couple of hours frittered away building a tool when a large screwdriver driven through the filter would have removed it in minutes. I'm glad he wasn't working for me because he wouldn't be any more.

    There's just something about someone using a vise that isn't bolted down that infuriates me.

    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

    Not to mention the wrench would be too bulky and cumbersome to fit around most filters
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    This guy has got to be one of the weirdest homemade tool builders on YouTube.
