I saw someone refer to the best place to buy oil filter cutters. I can't find the post now. Maybe it was eBay? Looks like there are a few options on Amazon for only $17. I've got a few oil changes coming up on VRP, and I'm curious what I might find in the filters. What is everyone buying these days?
Best / cheapest oil filter cutting tool?
- Thread starter tired
- Start date
Hard to beat this Longacre brand knockoff for ~ $17 with the coupon selected. The spare cutting blade is a nice bonus too, although I'm still on the original blade with my Longacre cutter.
Spelling bee....quilting bee....filter cutting bee...hmmm
Publicize this gathering. I'll bring an engraver and personalize everyone's cutter...for a fee-you-betcha.

I got the same one posted above on AliExpress a few years ago. Paid around the same price. $17 or so. Used properly (go slow, turn a 1/4 turn, then spin filter, quarter turn, spin filter, etc.) and the blade will last a long long time. Blades are cheap anyway, so not really an issue. People run into problems when they are too aggressive with it. Slow and steady. These work great.
I have been happy with a Foghorn Powersports cutter, amazon, $23 I think.
I recently bought one of these and I'm very happy with it. I can't compare it to others, but I'd buy it again.
I bought this one recently and it seems like a nice piece for the price.
Can you post the link to this one? Unfortunately the screenshot you posted contains no identifiable information for it. $2 seems worth it to get a better quality one.
I think I can help with that, try this:

I ordered this and it came with 4 extra blades
I like the one Whip City has, where the idler wheels have some support. No link though, post one if you can.
Others have tried them in the past and found them to crush the can more than cut the filter. I wouldn't recommend one.
WCW uses the Summit version of the original Jegs filter cutter. Summit version moved the wheels closer together and they are unpainted. It is better to cut open smaller filters like the 6607/7317/4967. Looks like Jegs still the original and too far apart to work well on smaller filters. Below is link to Summit. I see they now have a separate kit too to replace wheel if desired. It's a heavy duty cutter for sure. Looks like Speedway Motors has a less expensive version without replaceable wheel.

Much has changed with cutters since I first started. As seen above, now there's lots of reasonably priced cutters on Amazon and ebay. Back then there was the Jegs then the top of the line and pricey Longacre. Proform cutter came along some time in there.
I'm still using my ~$15 made in Taiwan HF exhaust cut off tool purchased 2010-11. No longer sold.
