AB  - Auto-mechanic technicians have been facing problem in loosening and tightening oil filters on engines while using traditional methods. The old approaches include the application of plain metal belts that do easily slips after a short period of use, another one used a short chain welded to a short rod locally fabricated and used to wrap the filter. In this study an oil filter spanner that can solve aforementioned problems with the application of little energy and at the same time accommodates all sizes of filter at an affordable cost, useable in automotive maintenance industries of the developing countries was designed and fabricated. The instrument is a conglomeration of components including handle, arm-base, movable nut, metal belt and a shaft. The use of the developed filter Can spanner has reduced the effort of the auto-maintenance industries by about 90% as compared to the use of traditional methods.
