Abstract
A filter removing tool for aiding with removing an air filter from a housing, such as a furnace. The filter removing tool generally includes a pair of handles, each having a linkage portion extending therefrom. The respective linkage portions cross each other and are interconnected via a pivot pin so that the handles may be opened or closed. A first arm extends from the first linkage portion and a second arm extends from the second linkage portion, each of the arms including a gripping member, at their respective distal ends. Each gripping member includes an inwardly-extending flange which is adapted to grasp the outer frame of a filter to aid its removal from a housing.
