The FC5 Filter Removal Cup is a new specialty tool that will keep service technicians
safer and shop floors cleaner during everyday jobs that involve oil and fuel
filter replacement. It's designed to protect exposed skin from heat and eliminate
the mess of fluid drips that commonly occur during routine vehicle maintenance.
Publications like Brake & Front End and Underhood Service were good enough to take note when the FC5 was released to the market. Moses Ludel at 4wdmechanix.com put the product to the test, writing a review and putting together a short video which we share below.
Ludel notes that "any oil filter change can be messy." Drips on the floor or even wiring, tubes hoses, frame and suspension components if they happen to be located below the oil filter location cause problems. At the very least, clean up takes time away from other duties.
"End
the messy oil drips and puddles when changing an oil filter," Ludel
wrote. "The S.U.R.&R. Oil Filter Cup catches dirty oil and makes oil
changes easier."
Made of pliable and non-slip material, the FC5 Filter
Removal Cup permits easy manipulation to access tight or oddly shaped filter
placement locations. The FC5 is designed for filters commonly found on cars,
SUVs, light duty trucks and vans. Residual oil in the filter at the connection point that drips out during an oil change is annoying and potentially harmful.
"The S.U.R.&R. Oil Filter Cup is an ingenious yet uncomplicated solution to that mess," noted Ludel.
The FC5 Filter Cup is Made in the U.S.A. for S.U.R.&R. customers at production facilities in Pacific, Missouri. Contact the company at 1-800-390-3996 to learn more or place an order to test them yourself!
