Oil Filter Wrench: Where can I buy one, new style Matador type

[Ron in SC]

Does anyone know where to buy, besides Samstag, the matador new style oil filter wrench which has 12 round slots like the one in photo below? This is the tool to remove the new style Perflux oil filter part #1021840501 which is now being used on M103 engines as well as many others.

Might want to check with Phil, bet he can get it or knows who handles them.

I am also searching for the new style oil filter wrench. Our local Merc dealer does not have them, even though they are selling the #1021840501 filters.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for a source.

Thanks.

The sponsor of this board ( Peach Parts ) should have them. A dealer won't stock any sort of special tool for sale.

I bought a Hazet one on eBay last year for around $20 IIRC. Its works perfectly on the M103 filters.

Do you have a part number for the Hazet tool?

Hi,

since MB changed the Ölfilter shape I use now the Wrench on the left side of the picture. Works perfect!
The righte one is the old one.

Best regards from Germany

So I went out to the garage to get the tool and its actually a Matador tool. MB Part # 103 589 02 09 00. For some reason I thought it was a Hazet.
