Used the hook to pull out the old water filter in my fridge.

(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)

I had tried to do this with the cap lifter, but it was nearly impossible. The tool needed to be used as a lever but the filter is recessed (the button on the fridge to pop the filter out is very ineffective) and there is no way to apply leverage. Also the tool would slip as it could not grab the filter. Same problem with the pliers. In fact, due to the size of the access area, the pliers had the best reach if inserted sideways--defeating the purpose of pliers.

So I may have--MAY have--found a job that the hook can do that the other tools can't really do. Although, it may be possible to use the corkscrew to hook the filter also, but I didn't try that because there is no corkscrew on the Craftsman.
With that said, I think most versions with a corkscrew also have the hook (maybe not all; I don't know). If so, you still might not need the corkscrew for this.

I have to change my fridge filter too soon. First time since its a new one and I never used the water off it much until recently because I have cleaner distilled water on the water cooler.

Jack Fenderblade here with breaking news on a new, hot contest between two Vics. I hear through the grapevine that the contestants intend to give no quarter. Hang on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen...

Just pulling. Twisting would be cheating :rofl:

They're very slowly getting tired now... not moved a fraction of an inch yet. I think they're pretty evenly matched.

I use the hook file pretty often...  Thinking about doing a yeoman mod with the compact hook... If it were possible to include the reamer punch..  Then I would truly be fulfilled.

Is that hook the same size as the one without the file? I feel that a SuperSwissChamp is being pondered somewhere ;)
