Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Bower Filter Wrench. Set of 2. Fits 48-58mm Filters
Customer Review: Not very useful
Summary: 1 Stars
I had a CPL filter stuck to a U/V filter, both 58 mm. These wrenches could not properly clamp onto either filter for a number of reasons, mainly because they're quite flimsy. Accidentally dropped the filters on the kitchen counter, which is what loosened them up so I could remove the CPL filter. I tried it again just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Dropping the filters on the kitchen counter works better than these wrenches. Definitely not recommended.
Now, if you have a filter stuck to the lens, the dropping trick is a bad idea.
Customer Review: Rubber band solution!
Summary: 4 Stars
The circular polarizing filter and adapter were tied together for half a year. I could not separate them as much as I tried (the polarizing filter kept on spinning). In the end I used a wide rubber band and put it around the polarizing filter, so that the polarizing filter could no longer rotate. Then I was able to easily unscrew it from the adapter. I did not try the product above. Perhaps it's also very good, but the rubber band solution could save you time and money.Customer Review: Amnesia
Summary: 1 Stars
Every five or six years I suffer from amnesia and buy a set of thease "filter wrench's". They seem like a good idea but the fact is they do not work. Save your money. The palm of your hand works as good or better. If you use two fingers you just make an ovel and the filter never comes off. I've been a photographer and a teacher for over 40 years, so you would think I would have learned this by now, Amnesia.Customer Review: A must have for the filter using photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
No more damaged filters that were overtightened and loosened with some other tool (channel lock pliers, perhaps?). With these light weight and very functional filter wrenches you can get your overtightened filters off with ease and without damaging your filter, or worse yet, your valuable lenses. A must have for any photographer who uses filters to enhance thier photographic experience.
Customer Review: Filter Wrench - Good to have.
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased these filter wrenches because sometimes filters get tight and are hard to remove with you hand. The Adorama filter wrench works, but has to be expanded to fit a 58mm filter which I found a little clumsy, but I got used to it with a little practice. Good tool to have in your camera bag for when you are in a hurry.
