Filter cutters

[OVERKILL]

So, in the name of science, I have a FRAM Ultra XG2 here with a dent in it that I'm not going to use so I've decided to cut and post. I've previously used a sawsall to cut them open and it's a huge PITA, so I bit the bullet and bought the Proform oil filter cutter tool:

I paid $111 Canadian for it through Amazon, should have it tomorrow.

What is everybody else using to cut their filters?

I am in the market as well. Longacre is one that I regularly see mentioned.

I'd probably use a pipe cutter if I needed to cut a filter

Fleetguard does sell a filter cutter: 3310587S

Looks like it's kind of pricey though...probably better off with one of the options mentioned above, unless you've got a connection through a truck dealer that sells Fleetguard.

I have the same cutter but paid $60 USC. I liked you can replace the cutter wheels with plumber pipe cutter wheels.

The Longacre is better, and basucally the same price on Amazon.

I use an angle grinder with cut off wheel. I don't have that many filters to cut open.

I wonder which cutter @53' Stude uses.

 

[Yah-Tah-Hey]

I have a Longacre that has work well for five years now. There are a number of oil filter cutters offered on the internet. I think they are all about the same.

Allstar Performance Oil Filter Cutter

I've never really needed to cut one open. What is the purpose, out of curiosity? I guess if I had to I'd probably just use a little cutting wheel on a dremel tool.

Interesting. It shows available on my end. Weird. I wonder if they won’t ship to …?

Yep, if I put in deliver to Canada it shows that it's Unavailable. But it shows available if shipped to me in the US. I'd get the Longacre before this one. This one has issues cutting small diameter filters.
