An oil filter wrench having adjustable serrated jaws that incorporate a hollow piercing jaw tooth that is connected to a drain hose via an internal oil channel through the oil filter wrench handle and jaw portion. The piercing jaw tooth includes an "O"-ring seal which seals when the piercing jaw punctures the oil filter housing. The drain hose includes a valve and a nipple that is attachable to a squeeze type drain bulb that can be used to provide a suction for sucking the oil filter during use. Use of the oil filter wrench allows the mechanic to drain the oil filter prior to removing the oil filter from its mount thereby preventing oil from draining onto the mechanic's hands and onto the vehicle parts.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A Oil Filter Wrench useful for draining the oil from an oil filter prior to removing the oil filter from an engine thereby eliminating oil spillage when removing oil filters, the wrench comprising:a) a wrench with opposing adjustable serrated jaws, wherein the jaws are curved to contour to an outer curved surface of an oil filter, and handles extending from the serrated jawsb) a hollow piercing jaw tooth attached to an area near an end of one of the serrated jaws wherein the piercing jaw tooth has a sharpened hollow point directed towards the other serrated jaw and further orientated to align about perpendicular to an outer surface of an oil filter placed between the serrated jaws,c) an "O" ring seal around an outer portion of the piercing jaw tooth and an "O" ring sealing groove at a base of the piercing jaw tooth providing a surface for the "O" ring to form a seal when pushed to the base of the piercing jaw tooth,d) an oil channel extending from the hollow piercing jaw tooth internally through the serrated jaw and internally through the wrench handle to a nipple located at an end on one of the wrench handles, ande) tubing connecting to the nipple providing a means for draining the oil from the filter to a desired location.
