This is one of a few types of oil filter remover. Another common type uses a thin band of steel instead of a chain. This type of tool is for removal of screw-on metal filters only (as pictured below).

Another type of oil filter design has a plastic cap that is removed with a large socket and the filter element is pulled out by hand. This tool is not for that type of filter.
