Lisle 61870 Torque Adapter 35 Nm 3/8" Drive Oil Filter Tool

The Lisle 61870 Torque Adapter transforms any standard 3/8" drive ratchet or breaker bar into a precision 35 Newton-Meter (approximately 26 ft-lbs) torque wrench. This specialized tool is designed to prevent over-tightening of delicate plastic and aluminum oil filter canisters and cartridge-style oil filters, which can crack or strip when excessive force is applied.

Key Features:

• Pre-set to 35 Nm torque specification for oil filter housing applications
• Compatible with any 3/8" drive ratchet or breaker bar
• Can be used with 21mm sockets or wrenches for added versatility
• Eliminates guesswork when tightening cartridge oil filter caps
• Helps prevent costly damage to plastic and aluminum filter housings
• Audible click or release mechanism indicates proper torque reached

Important: This adapter is designed for hand tools only and must not be used with impact wrenches or pneumatic tools, which could damage the torque mechanism and lead to inaccurate torque application.

Ideal for professional technicians and DIY mechanics working on modern engines with cartridge-style oil filters that require precise torque specifications.
