The start of a movement??
Before anyone goes running down that pathway I should probably point out a couple things. One, a confession: I’ve never used the tin snip technique on an oil filter, so take my ‘recommendation’ (if that’s what it was) with a grain of salt. It looks pretty easy on the vids, and I have no reason to believe that’s due to any kind of video manipulation of reality (other than the speed-up effect that JFP referred to). Seeing them (the vids) has just encouraged me to give it a try next time I change my oil. If it’s a PITA to do or is otherwise not a useful technique, who knows? Maybe I’ll buy the fancy can opener.
Two, if I were 30 years younger I probably would do that right off the bat anyway. At this point in my life I've got many fewer oil changes left ahead of me. I just feel like I want to try the tin snips and continue go that route if it works as well as advertised on youtube.
Sicklerville eh? Another south Jersey boy. I’m originally from just down the road…Woodstown.
