Abstract
A tool adapted to be used with a filter cap having an engagement structure includes a body having an upper end and a side wall extending from the upper end and terminating in a lower open end. The side wall is formed with a plurality of notches extending upwardly from the lower open end and adapted to receive the engagement structure of the filter cap. The notches define a set of spaced apart engaging members which form a driven head receiving structure adapted to matingly and non-rotatably receive the engagement structure of the filter cap. The body is engagably disposed over the engagement structure, and the body together with the filter cap is rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
