Easy to use, but the provided cutting disc is the incorrect size. It still works fine but a cutter with shoulders will fit correctly.

The replacement can cutter blade is 13-03958. As pictured, this replacement blade has a raised centrepiece. If 12-21396 is used, the shoulders are not raised, so washers will need to be used to pack the height so the thread for the retaining nut does not reach its maximum before tensioning the blade. The raised shoulders are the only difference between them. However, the item works equally well with either, especially given that the tool requires the blade to have some freedom of movement.

Well built, and advertised made in the USA. I use this product in conjunction with AFC-470-R and I would recommend them both.

The description for “replacement blade” is wrong. This cutter DOES NOT USE 12-21395 replacement blade. The CORRECT blade to use is 13-03958.

Works perfectly, however just be prepared for a bit of a mess. Take time to drain as much oil as you can first!

Excellent product! Used this just a few days ago, and it worked like a charm. Put the hex head in the vice and cut the end off in just a few minutes. This thing looks very durable, and the cutter is easy to change out if it breaks or chips. I bought this one because it looked beefy and well done. Ive seen a couple of other ones that did not hold up too well in practical use. I expect this one to last.

Worked great on my SNJ Airwolf filter.

Works good!

hey this tool works great. easy to used. like it.

Cut my first filter and worked as advertized! Very well made and easy to use. I like the slide to setup the filter before tighing to engage the cutting wheel.

It worked perfectly with little to no metal shavings interfering with my filter inspection. Nicely manufactured with no wear or damage to the cutting wheel, I expect it to hold up well.

Nicely machined tool that works perfectly. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Replacement cutter PN needs to be updated in the description as 12-21396

Excellent tool. Great quality. Works well. Competitively priced.

Works good. Well made. Easy to use.

Worked very well, nicely made. It performed like a giant tubing cutter. The cutting wheel is held on with a nyloc nut, and did not come loose when cutting open the filter.

Real quality tool, beautifully machined and worked perfectly. Attractively priced also.

Tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago, works great. Easy way to cut open the oil filter can without contaminating the inside with debris. Might be worth ordering a couple spare blades. Once the can is off, cut the filter material with a razor knife, pull it out, and inspect. Check any metal found with a magnet.

Very well made. Will work with male and female thread oil filters. Excellent price for such a versatile filter can cutter.

I have tried other brand filter can cutter and returned. I like to say this one of the best aviation oil filter cutter in the market. The center spindle fits right on the cutter and flush the oil filter into the cutter. The design was simple and it works well. Caution! Inspect the unit carefully and cutter blade should be included. I returned my initial order, unit was scratched and missing cutter blade. Overall excellent filter cutter.

High quality tool at a very reasonable price. Has easily cut filters from various manufactures. I am very pleased with this purchase. If you would like to see this tool in action and how to use it properly you can view my YouTube video: https://youtu.be/RkYtcJLFMGs

Not a filter element cutter this is a can cutter. It works perfectly - as advertised! Yes, the blade is replaceable and comes separately wrapped in the box from Spruce.

Id never used one of these before. 5 minutes after opening the bag it came in, I had my filter cut open neatly and with little effort. Works just like a big tubing cutter. Thanks!

Agree. Its an oil filter cutter, which is what I wanted. Works as advertised except it took me several rotations to cut through. Same as cutting a pipe or pvc/abs. The blade is shipped loose, so dont miss finding it in the popcorn filler. Awful and messy stuff.

Well made, oil can cutter is not the correct name. It is and oil filter cutter.

Only used it once on a Jabiru oil filter. Worked really well

Ive tried every design of OFC there is - even one Ive milled. This is by far the cheapest, most practice, and professional. Dont waste an additional $30.00 on an Airwolf. This OFC cuts open every filter I know. Use that other $30.00 and take your kids to Dairy Queen.....

I thought it was overpriced, I had to buy blades locally, however, it does cut a filter

The wheel cutter would not tighten per the instructions, as the nut ran out of thread before it contacted the wheel. This left the wheel very wobbly and unusable. I inserted a washer that was not included with the cutter wheel. Seems to work fine now, only used it once so far.

The first one I ordered came with several nicks that exposed the bare aluminum under the fancy anodized finish. The damage was only cosmetic but I returned it asking for one that was undamaged. Several weeks later I received the replacement, It also had nicks exposing the bare aluminum. The damage to both appears to have been caused before the tool was sealed in the plastic bag and was not shipping damage. Why spend the time and money on a fancy anodized finish if it is going to damaged before the tool reaches the customer? Far better to make the tool cheaper and forget the fancy finish. That way the customer can dress the damage so it doesnt show. Yes, it does cut filters open.

Cutter wheel would not fit on shaft, had to drill out center for wheel to fit !! Company needs to get there act together!! For that price it shouldnt be happening !!!

The cutter wheel was a separate item labeled as replacement. It did not fit. I had to enlarge the I.D. of the cutter wheel to work. The rest of the product seems to be well built and will last. The 2 start review is for the cutter wheel problem only. Possibly a packaging error.

Used it two or three times and the retaining part flew off and the cutter fell off. I guess if the cutter stayed with the tool it would be good.

Would have been great if I had received the package that ups was supposed to deliver

works well when the cutting blade stays on, cant keep the cutting wheel on the mount

Did not come with cutting wheel.
