Similar to the Clarke claw, with 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch drive options, but slightly bigger and with circular arms featuring 25mm knurled ends to grip slippery filters. This required very little space, and could be used at some distance by adding ratchet extensions. On the downside, the Draper lost grip easily if the pressure wasn't kept on. The fact that it was the second most expensive tool on test also counted against it.
