It's the one I used as well.
And me. And lots of others. Reasonable quality, price, and availability.
But...it's K&NTheir oil filters seem to be well made and have the advantage of the hex-nut welded on the end so MUCH easier to remove.

And that would be the killer feature... if it worked. The problem is that the nut is so poorly formed and so shallow, that I have yet to be able to remove it using a socket wrench. Any amount of significant torque and it just skips. Perhaps it is my socket set (although we are talking quality [original] Craftsman, they are 12 point).
:rotflmao:I dumped all my 12 point sockets years ago after chewing up way too many nuts and bolts. 6 point is where it's at

Went by a whole line of Craftsman tools in Lowes today.
Yeah, but are they actually Craftsman? Or just the name slapped on some lower-quality Chinese stuff? Even Sears obliterated their own Craftsman hand-tool warranty in their last bastion of failure when bought by K-Mart.
"Beginning in 2010, hand tools manufactured for Craftsman by Apex Tool Group (formerly known as Danaher) such as ratchets, sockets, and wrenches began to be sourced overseas mainly in China"
"Consumers may find different versions of Craftsman products at the different outlets that sell them because after the sale of Craftsman to SBD, the entities are free to source Craftsman from the suppliers of their own choosing."
