    I had a 'proper' tool made by Sealy and it was crap, so I ended up using a screwdriver like Roadwart mentions....just can't beat the old fashioned ways! lol

    I've got a proper filter socket head, don't even remember where from now but I've had it 10years and it's always worked.

    So I'm guessing you chaps drain your oil first before punching a screwdriver through the filter to remove it.
    Effecively destroying the filtering part of the filter, allowing all the bits it's picked up to run free but also giving them a helping hand by applying pressure to the filter, squeezing them the only way they can go - into the bike.

    Well I'm sold. :unsure:

    Lol, I have both a band type tool and the socket cup and both failed miserably to remove my Bandit filter, so a quick punch with the screwdriver to drain the oil off, and then a stick a long screwdriver all the way through it, minimal mess and no chance of anything running back into the bike. :thumbsup:

    To be honest Skortch the screwdriver comment I made was a throwaway comment., I`ve never changed the oil in my bike (nice man at garage does it when checking my valve clearances) but I do have a socket that fits oil filters.

    Interesting the number of people that do use that method though, each to their own but it can't be disputed that ramming a metal object, through metal onto a liquid will always cause particles to be dispersed into the medium.
    I'm sure a few metal filings are okay though ;)
