Someone mentioned the Summit cutter a while back. A quick search finds this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-900511 for a bunch less than the Amazon option, with free shipping too. Let the filter drain down while the cutter finds its way to you. Lacks the high-speed ball-bearing rollers, but should be fine for home use.

Well I figured out where the tiny red flakes are from. My filter wrench jacked up the oil filter during removal. Wouldn't be surprised it some of those fragments are parts of the filter scraped off from the tension of using a strap wrench.

Going to have to start drinking coffee before I do a 6am oil job.

Any recommendations where I can get a dedicated 928 oil filter wrench?

More of an FYI than anything... I just found an old Hazet oil filter wrench in a box of 944 parts I saved. The part number is 2169 from Hazet. When I googled it, a link to Paragon products popped up, and indicates not only does it work for 944/924S filters, but also 928! Guess I can throw my old strap wrench out. Good riddance.

Yeah I need to get out more. This lockdown is giving me some cabin fever. Time to go for a drive.

Since no one else has said it....

Shouldn’t cost more that the tools you were going to order.

Those look like tabis, so actually very cool.

One of the way we identify tourists in these parts... Andy knows better.

In hind sight, it's funny how some of those shavings are the same color as the oil filter.
