The Britool Hallmark BHOFTV2 3-Leg Oil Filter Remover is a heavy-duty professional oil filter wrench designed for fast and secure removal of stubborn spin-on oil filters during automotive servicing and maintenance.
Featuring a self-tightening 3-leg spider design, the geared mechanism automatically increases its grip on the oil filter as turning force is applied. This provides positive engagement with the filter body and makes the tool particularly effective for removing tight, stubborn or over-tightened oil filters.
With an adjustable working capacity of 60mm to 120mm, the BHOFTV2 covers a wide range of common automotive oil filter diameters and is suitable for professional garages, vehicle technicians, mechanics and home servicing applications.
This Version 2 (V2) model is an upgraded design of the original Britool Hallmark BHOFT, offering improved strength, durability and gripping performance for demanding workshop use.

Self-Tightening 3-Leg Spider Design
The BHOFTV2 uses three geared gripping legs positioned around the body of the oil filter.
As torque is applied, the mechanism causes the legs to tighten progressively around the filter, increasing the grip and helping prevent the remover from slipping.
This self-tightening action makes the tool particularly useful when dealing with filters that have become difficult to remove due to extended service intervals, excessive installation torque or restricted access.
The three-leg configuration also distributes the gripping force around the filter body for controlled removal.
Wide 60-120mm Adjustable Capacity
With a working range of approximately 60mm to 120mm, one BHOFTV2 can be used across a broad selection of compatible spin-on oil filters.
This versatility makes it particularly useful for:
- Professional automotive garages
- Vehicle service centres
- Independent mechanics
- Fleet maintenance workshops
- Car and van servicing
- Light commercial vehicle maintenance
- Home garages
- Automotive enthusiasts
Always check the diameter and accessibility of the specific filter before use.
Three Drive Options
The Britool Hallmark BHOFTV2 provides multiple methods of operation, allowing the mechanic to choose the most convenient option for the available working space.
It can be operated using:
- 3/8" square drive ratchet
- 1/2" square drive using the supplied adaptor
- 21mm spanner or compatible socket
This versatility is especially useful when working in restricted engine bays, where surrounding components may prevent the use of a conventional oil filter wrench or a particular ratchet configuration.
Improved BHOFTV2 Version 2 Design
The BHOFTV2 is the upgraded Version 2 development of the original Britool Hallmark BHOFT oil filter remover.
Improvements to the V2 design include enhanced:
- Overall strength
- Durability
- Gripping performance
- Geared mechanism construction
- Performance on stubborn filters
For customers replacing or upgrading an older BHOFT tool, the BHOFTV2 provides the current heavy-duty design.
Professional Automotive Applications
The BHOFTV2 is designed primarily for the removal of compatible spin-on engine oil filters during routine servicing and mechanical repairs.
Typical applications include:
- Engine oil and filter changes
- Routine vehicle servicing
- Automotive workshop maintenance
- Car servicing
- Van maintenance
- Light commercial vehicle servicing
- Fleet maintenance
- Professional garage repairs
- DIY vehicle servicing
The compact spider-style construction is particularly beneficial where access around the filter is limited.
Britool Hallmark Identification
The tool is laser marked with its BHOFTV2 part number and Britool Hallmark logo, providing clear product identification within a busy professional workshop.
This makes the tool easier to identify and return to the correct location within a professional automotive tool collection.
