Amnesia
By A1OWROB7ZLPIYQ on 2008-02-13
Every five or six years I suffer from amnesia and buy a set of thease "filter wrench's". They seem like a good idea but the fact is they do not work. Save your money. The palm of your hand works as good or better. If you use two fingers you just make an ovel and the filter never comes off. I've been a photographer and a teacher for over 40 years, so you would think I would have learned this by now, Amnesia.
too much shipping cost, for tiny product
By A3C4GJREDWZWKE on 2008-02-15
canceled the order, because they wanted seven bucks to ship less than an ounce of a three dollar product. Found elsewhere, a lot less expensive.
A must have for the filter using photographer
By A33HA1VRI3NO5V on 2007-02-10
No more damaged filters that were overtightened and loosened with some other tool (channel lock pliers, perhaps?). With these light weight and very functional filter wrenches you can get your overtightened filters off with ease and without damaging your filter, or worse yet, your valuable lenses. A must have for any photographer who uses filters to enhance thier photographic experience.
Great for circular polarizers and other filters
By A2XFX6ADNMZHB1 on 2008-08-05
If you have filters on your camera, whether it's a UV filter that is on the lens 99% of the time, or you change filters often, then I highly recommend getting these lens wrenches. This product is particular useful in loosening my B+W Circular Polarizer because the wrench can lock onto the screw-in portion of the filter, instead of the rotating outside layer. The one time that I couldn't get my UV filter off and I didn't have the wrenches around, I really regretted it. Now I carry them with me in my camera bag all the time, since they don't take up much space. I bought these and the larger size ones, and since there are two wrenches in each pack, I gave one set to a friend.
Beware though, if you tighten your filters onto your lenses with as much force as you're tightening the pipes in your bathroom, then you're going to have trouble getting the filter loose with any product.
I agree that the shipping cost from the vendor is pretty high for this product. I have the luxury of living in NYC, so I just walked over and got these in person. If you know someone in NYC, get them to pick these up for you. Or you can save up a bunch of items and order them all at once to save on shipping.
Camera Must-Have!!
By A21KXGWUL7LRRQ on 2007-06-30
I bought these Filter Wrenches for my Canon Powershot S3 IS. I screwed a filter on a little too tight, and as I was struggling to twist and turn and pull it off, I stopped and thought... "Ya know, maybe this isn't such a good idea. I might break the filter I JUST bought less than 24 hours ago..." Luckily, I found these wrenches and it took the filter off easily, potentially saving me a lot of money for a replacement filter... as well as saving me a lot of emotional grief if I had broken my new filter within a day. Oi!
Not to mention the fact that I bought them from Adorama - what a cheap price for a product that is SO good to have! Every photographer needs these.
- Tough
By A15QYHQH80W30L on 2008-02-21
I bought this mainly for the purpose of helping me unwind my Hoya Pro-1 D Circ PL....the attached part is really so narrow that even with this wrench it is having a hard time removing it. For run of the mill filters I see no problem using the wrench.

If you have ever over tightened a screw on filter you would give up your first born son for a set of these.

Wrenches work as designed and are a "Must Have" if you swap filters often. I waited and ordered multiple items from the Adorama Store Front via Amazon and shipping was very reasonable (see their shipping rate page).
- Good tools

Adorama Filter Wrench. Set of 2. Fits 46-58mm Filters
New cameras has a lot of plastic parts and I has a dificult to put the filter in lenses. I think it's a good tools for it.
- works great but give me a break on shipping
By A9JQDU2R5O0GX on 2008-07-16
Works great but the shipping was a killer. But they were one of the only places that you can even buy these things so I guess you pay the price!
