New Oil Filter Cutter from Laser Tools to help with engine health diagnostics

Laser Tools has introduced its new Oil Filter Cutter (part number 9144), a tool designed to assist professional workshops and engine builders in diagnosing engine health. This device allows for the quick and clean cutting of used oil filters, enabling technicians to inspect trapped debris. This inspection can offer valuable insights into the engine’s condition and help identify potential issues before they lead to costly repairs.

Inspecting a used oil filter can reveal crucial information, as the filter collects contaminants and wear particles from the engine’s lubrication system. By analysing the filter’s contents, technicians can:

  • Detect early engine wear: Identify metal particles indicating wear in components like bearings or piston rings.
  • Spot contamination: Recognise fuel or coolant presence, which could suggest head gasket failures or injector leaks.
  • Diagnose turbocharger or fuel system problems: Address issues before they cause performance loss or complete system failure.
  • Improve preventative maintenance: Identify oil degradation or excessive sludge buildup.

The Laser 9144 Oil Filter Cutter is engineered for efficiency and durability. It features a 2-bearing roller design for smooth operation, an adjustable cutting range for oil filters from 60mm to 140mm in diameter, and a robust aluminium frame with a steel force screw. The tool uses an SKH9 tungsten-molybdenum high-speed cutting steel blade for precise cuts, with replacement blades available (Laser part number 62728). It can also be securely mounted on a workbench for added stability.

This new Oil Filter Cutter is an addition for any professional workshop, race team, or engine builder, simplifying oil filter inspection to help prevent unexpected engine failures and maintain vehicle performance. It is now available from Laser Tools stockists and online retailers.
