Hi all -
I am thinking of marketing this - a genuine Whitworth oil filter spanner . Some may want to call it a Tommy Bar .
Probably more useful for removal than installation. Force multiplier to be sold separately.
Think it will sell ?

Genuine Whitworth oil filter wrench ( spanner)
 
You'll probably have to include comprehensive instructions, safety hints and tips, intellectual disclaimers etc. etc.. (Oh... and using an 'oil filter of colour' may not be the best advertising move, either.)
 
OK, I'm in, so just to be sure . . . . . .

When installing the filter you use the genuine Whitworth oil filter spanner and with the Force Multiplier (Is this genuine Whitworth?) you strike the genuine Whitworth oil filter spanner with the Force Multiplier piercing the oil filter allowing you to easily install the filter.

I would like to become the European distributer for this product along with my other items I distribute:

1. Glass Hammer
2. Bucket of steam
3. Rubber nails (must be used with the Glass hammer)
4. Tartan paint
5. Replacement bubble for the spirit level (my biggest seller)
6. Left-handed screwdriver

I think you've just converted it to an oil cooler too...
 
I'm kind of fond of the 'Force Multiplier'.
I can see many uses................................:cool:
 
Hate to rain on your parade, but I tried that on my first oil change back in 1977. Peeled the entire can off and left the base. That was really hard to get off. Never tried that again.
 
Directions for snugging up the oil filter are clear and plain. Torque wrench is not required.

Someone should have pointed that out to the dreaded PO. I had to take the petrol tank off and lay the bike over to use a chisel and force multiplier to get the rest off. There was probably a better way but I was a dumb kid with few tools. Now I have lots of tools and I'm not a kid.
 
I once had to do a service on a 2.3 litre CF Bedford. The "Fuckwit" who fitted the oil filter had done it so tight that I destroyed the outer casing and it still would not budge. Had to get a cold chisel onto the base and hit the shit out of it to get it off. F w "s born every day.

Using the correct tool to get oil filters off is much cleaner.

The CF Bedford's in the UK didn't need this tooling, as the poxy pressed steel cam covers that continually distorted and with cork gasket that leaked so much you were constantly changing the oil by default....God they were one awful piece of so called engineering conceived in Frankenstein's lab to compete with the superior transit... don't even get me started on the front suspension...

No doubt you replacement bubble comes with instructions. Might there be a You Tube video?
 
Olympus. In those days, there wasn't much really good stuff coming out of the UK. Took the Japs to wake them up eventually. Those were lovely threaded pivots weren't they.
 
Thr Force Multiplier should be renamed Knockometer, I always carry one around with my other tools in my topbox, can save a lot of swearing outside say, a church, when the congregation are going in or out (before lockdown) should you break down there.
