bcg Posted Friday at 10:02 PM Report Posted Friday at 10:02 PM Since I've got to change the oil in my own hangar now, I needed to get my own filter cutter. I looked around and couldn't find one for airplane filters that was less than $150 because you know, airplane. I'm way too cheap for that so I got this off Amazon and drilled a hole in it - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5D3SF4S $17 and I'm done. So, if you need a filter cutter, you're welcome. 3 1

Hank Posted Saturday at 01:06 AM Report Posted Saturday at 01:06 AM Harbor Freight pipe cutter works, too, just measure the oil filter so you can buy the right size.
larryb Posted Saturday at 01:38 AM Report Posted Saturday at 01:38 AM I bought one of those Amazon ones after I misplaced my old Airwolf cutter and like it better. Pro tip: Clamp the filter top hex in your bench vise and then use the cutter to remove the filter base.
Lax291 Posted Saturday at 05:03 AM Report Posted Saturday at 05:03 AM This is the one I use, $30 shipped from Amazon and it's worked great, even comes with replacement blades. https://a.co/d/0gMz6FBl 1

I use my teeth! Us carbureted folks just cut them open when we have a few minutes to spare, and a bucket to empty it into . . . I save my energy for loading and unloading my wife's baggage . . . .
