An expansion repair coupling for interconnecting two facing ends of a cut pipe comprises a tubular body, a spigot slidably and rotatably received therein and a locking mechanism to selectively lock or unlock the rotation of the tubular body relative to the spigot. An end of the spigot extends outward from the tubular body to receive a coupling that connects to one end of the cut pipe. A radially enlarged section on the spigot has a sealing mechanism that sealably engages an interior surface of the tubular body. The locking mechanism, engaged by collapsing the spigot into the tubular body or disengaged by extending the spigot therefrom, facilitates a push and twist connection at both ends of the pipe to wipe the adhesive disposed therebetween and obtain a better seal. Preferably, the locking mechanism comprises a socket having spigot engaging members that cooperatively engage socket engaging members on the spigot.

A oil filter wrench and packaging arrangement therefore are disclosed. The oil filter wrench has a cup-shaped body with a socket formed therein for receiving the top of a conventional oil filter. The interior side wall has a step therein circumscribing the socket. The oil filter wrench can be packaged between a cardboard backing and plastic cover sheet such that the cover sheet over laps the rim of the cup-shaped body. The step spaces the plastic sheet from the socket, keeping the socket area open. With this packaging arrangement the consumer can try his oil filter with the wrench without destroying the package to determine whether the wrench suits his needs before purchasing it.
