I bought one years ago (mid 1970s) to get the oil filters off VW Rabbits after going into the VW dealership and seeing that is what their mechanics used.

I have used that over-sized channel locks for a bazillion things, including stuck filters, plumbing, pressing parts together and everything in between, when you need 'em, there's nothing like 'em...

Yupper, that's why I have two of them.

Fine, be that way... I felt inadequate so I just ordered two more, even though I only have two hands, I'm sure there will come a time I'll need to use my feet as well...

I don't have one that big. LOL For 23 bucks I may just have to order one from Amazon.

We carry the billet caps for precisely this reason. A nice bonus is that they are pre-tapped 1/8" NPT on the center top if you wanted to pop a sensor in ever.
