Lessens the stress of adulting
Finally got the whole house water filter put in when i had the plumbing redone. They said to change the filter asap bc all the updates would put icky stuff in the line..they were right. The filter cartridge started looking funky pretty much within a day or two and more brownish afterwards. I had a set of replacement filters but wasn't sure how to swap them in. Thank you YT for the directions. I ordered strap wrenches but when they came, realized i was too weak with my girl-strength, or was doing something wrong. After watching more YT vids, i realized i needed to shut off the whole house water, and let the faucet drain the remainder.Now the math part...Measure around your housing, and divide by pi to get the circumference. This is the size wrench you need to fit the housing. I needed Google for the 16th part of the fraction..i'm better with metric but everything is stupidly complicated english-system. Once i got my correct size, this was the clear winner in the wench category.There are little nubbins that fit the extruded nubbins on the filter sump. And the handle of the wrench tells you which way to turn in case you panic or forget(not gonna judge bc been there myself). The wrench is nice metal with rubber protector on the handle. The wrench that comes with water filters usually is plastic and junky, and often break--i was terrified id start this project, the wrench would break, and i'd be stuck with a housing half on/off, requiring me to call a plumber...So to keep me precarious sanity, i opted to buy this nice, sturdy tool.I shut off my whole house valve, opened a faucet and let it run until just a drip was coming through, then i put a bucket under the sump and carefully unscrewed. Water comes out..as you loosen, so have towels handy. The housing came totally loose with one last turn, and the housing and filter kinda popped off forcefully. I was expecting it (thank you YT), so i didn't drop either one. More water kinda sloshes down and you can dispose of the filter on the garbage(i kept a plastic bag nearby do shove the dirty gross filter in so it wouldn't drip everywhere, and put it in the garbage).Just clean out your sump(i used distilled water sloshed around). I dried it with a paper towel just to make sure i got all the crud and sediment out. Then i used "food grade plumbers silicone" to lube up the rubber o-ring in the housing. Make absolutely certain you use "food grade"!!! That o-ring will be on contact with your drinking water..you really don't want industrial silicone in your water--yuck!!!Shove the replacement cartridge in the spindle in the sump, and shove the whole lot onto the top. Gently align the threads and start to twist/tighten the sump back on. When you've hand-tightened as much as you can, use this wrench to give it an extra bit of a tighten so it's snugly on. Very slowly. start to turn on your shut off valve, allowing water t flow and slowly fill the water filter. Watch for leaks. If none, slowly turn on to full-open. Your water lines may make noise as they refill--it's ok. I turned on a faucet while doing all this so it could release trapped air and bring in the water.Job done..no leaks, no funky water, and i didn't panic or cry! This wrench made the whole process a ton easier and made me feel more reassured than a cheapo plastic one. It literally takes longer for your faucet to finish dripping than it does to complete the entire filter change out.Very pleased with the quality of this wrench. Definitely a tool i will be using frequently when changing water filters. Makes the job much easier and faster.

Great leverage!
Worth the money! Just dont over tighten your filter housing. Just a tiny bit past hand tight. Mine cracked in the middle of the night and started spraying water everywhere. Im glad I heard it.

Great tool. The cost of the wrench is a fraction of what I would have had to pay a plumber.
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.

Best Alternative to Small Plastic One
Perfect alternative for the cheap plastic one you get at the big box store. This fits the tall 20" filter housings precisely. Long metal handle gives so much more leverage.

Works well on my sediment filter
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)

The Only One You’ll Need To Buy
This should be included in the box with a new whole house filter. All metal with a long handle means more torque to loosen and remove the filter housing. The supplied plastic wrench is useless/junk. Remember to measure the plastic wrench you have and use those measurements to order the metal one you need. These do come in different sizes. Very rigid. Only “hand tighten” the filter housing when putting it back on. Don’t use this wrench to over tighten the filter housing. Bad things could happen.
