Oil filters used in automotive vehicles come in different sizes and may be located at varying positions on the engine which differ in terms of ease of access. Due to such variability, multiple specialized tools have typically been required to remove installed oil filters from automotive engines, including various sized pliers, straps, bands and the like, the selection of the tool depending on the location and size of the oil filter, and the angle of approach required. An oil filter removal tool is now provided which has at least two sets of opposing gripping regions, the two sets being in perpendicular orientation relative to each other. Advantageously, the oil filter removal tool may be used to approach and grasp the oil filter from an axial or radial direction, and may be used with different sizes of oil filters.
