I have three of those adjustable metal strap thingies. Two have their own handle (which tilts to fit around things) and the other requires an extension for the end of the ratchet. You twist it as though you're unscrewing, and the strap grips the oil filter more tightly. My hands are small and I've never been able to get a good enough grip on them to unscrew by hand. (And I hand-tighten them; and with my small hands, I'm not gorilla-tightening the filters when I screw them back on).
