a generic 65mm end cap wrench works as well (except some obvious junk) at a fraction of the cost.

Now that depends on just how tight the filter is. If you're changing the oil in your car or motorcycle for the first time since it rolled off the assembly line a cheap cap style wrench is not likely to work. The most generic cap type filter tools are built with thin walls that will flex and allow the filter to slip. This thing isn't going to flex for nothing.The only one that I can think of that will come built as tough is perhaps the the steel Amico or one of the forged aluminum ones.I have heard of the aluminum ones fracturing though. It could have been caused from a simple drop, purchase wisely. Now that depends on just how tight the filter is.

Yes, Ivan is correct, the Honda 15400-PLM-A01 & A02 filters require a 65mm filter wrench, and if you search around you can find one for about 1/3 the price of this genuine Honda filter wrench.

Honda -A01 & -A02 Filters are 64mm across the flats, not 65mm. Use a 65mm and you will experience a very not-fun day. Also, Honda wrench here is forged steel. No slop, no flex, no cuss-words. Dropped mine on floor and rang like a bell.

Set of snap ring pullers. Cost you maybe $20. Some good videos on youtube. I got it done and im no mechanic. Just follow the videos carefully.

Hard to say. Some are unique to the original tool and others are generic and at a lower price. I found some on e-bay.

Hi, not sure if you can just get the end caps. The whole piece was cheap enough.

Yep. All you need is a 10mm socket wrench. It's really easy. I found a video on YouTube that explained the process.

I would highly recommend using a crimping tool, the Signstek A-2546 does a good job for the price.

It is a standard 3mm allen wrench you can find at Amazon, any hardware store, or Home, Depot, Lowes etc.

I bought a cheap set of screwdrivers which have the special head, and a "spluge"?! for prying it off.My son is the whiz in the family, and had no problems doing the replacement (other than he preferred a different color than I bought).

All you need is a wrench and a screwdriver. All the parts are included in the order.

I don't recall seeing a source on the tools anywhere, but the Astro Pneumatic website says the following "With over 30 years of importing product into the U.S. Automotive Aftermarket, Astro Pneumatic Tool Co. offers several product categories for one-stop shopping. Our products under our own brand name "ASTRO" include the popular tool and equipment classics, as well as innovative new items." I'd expect from that statement that the tools are imported, though from where I could not tell you. I am very happy with the quality of the tool, I use it in my garage, and having a proper crimp tool for various connectors is worth the price compared to the small cheap generic crimp tools you get for $15-25. If I were a pro using this type of tool, I would probably get a bigger brand name with local support.

Phillips screw driver, channell lock or similar pliers and a socket set or sized wrenches.

I don't remember, it was either an Allen head or Torx head wrench. Been a while back

Snap-on owns the company CDI, its sold cheaper than the Snap-on name brand, because your not paying for the Snap-on name, but its the same wrench.

Phillips head screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and an alan wrench for sure. Having some pliers won't hurt for some of the screws n' nuts.

I have found the cap to be troublesome also and sometimes it really takes a lot of strength to remove it. Although I have not tried it, I know a wrench is specifically made to fit over the top of the cap to turn it more easily.

Probably, but I found the same type of stuff at advanced auto parts way cheaper.

There's really no reason to pay the price charged for this when a standard bit holder would work much better for that purpose. You could probably even take a cheap standard hex extension and grind down the male hex end to match the flat bit holder on the Leatherman to same effect.
