Our patent pending "2nd Generation" wrench design is manufactured using precision CNC machining as opposed to forging or casting like most others. While casting or forging is less expensive, the tolerance is much larger. This usually results in the wrenches being manufactured slightly oversized and creates a loose fit which can cause rounding of the cap.
With CNC machining, we can now maintain the size of the wrench to .001" or better, which is a MUCH tighter tolerance than casting or forging. We have also sized them to account for thermal expansion of the cap (which can be significant) and they have an ideal fit when the engine is still warm. They will be slightly loose when used on a cold engine but not enough to slip as we have tested this extensively.

We are a family owned and operated tool manufacturer located in Washington State, USA. We design tools for demanding DIYers and professional technicians who value quality and toughness.
This oil filter wrench is made by Motivx Tools at our USA headquarters using high quality materials sourced in the US.
Our patent-pending design uses two types of aluminum, 6061 for the body (the grey part) and 7075 for the drive hub (the red part). 7075 aluminum is typically used in the aircraft industry and has properties similar to steel. It will not yield (deform) when the ratchet is rotated, even on the tightest oil filter caps.
