Adjustable socket-type wrench

摘要

An adjustable socket-type oil filter wrench having a cup-like socket member for receiving an oil filter cartridge, a plurality of pivotable gripping arms circumferentially spaced about the socket member for radially inward and outward relative movement, and a cam arrangement for producing coordinated pivotal movement of the gripping arms for progressive gripping engagement with the circumferential periphery of an oil filter cartridge to apply removal torque thereto. The pivotal dispostion of the gripping arms enables the wrench to be used with oil filters of all conventional sizes.
