Abstract: The present invention is to an improved a pneumatic oil filter removal tool. The tool has an outer housing formed of a somewhat rigid body surrounding a pressure sleeve. The pressure sleeve has a high friction surface on its interior surface and is shaped to receive a substantially cylindrical oil filter body. An inflation tool is provided to increase the pressure within the pressure sleeve. As pressure increases in the sleeve, an outer rigid wall provided by the rigid body around the sleeve directs the expansion inwardly. The increased pressure thus expands within the housing until it compresses against the filter body to securely receive the filter body. A high friction surface on the interior of the pressure sleeve allows the filter to be rotated as the pressure sleeve and housing are turned. This unique combination forms a pneumatic tool for grasping and turning an oil filter or similar body to be rotated.
