This is the best tool that you can use to remove a stuck oil filter. Works for any spin on filter. The only thing you need is a 1/2 drive ratchet or breaker bar to use this. The more you turn the tighter it gets.
Versus various other options;
Oil filter caps-

Useless unless you work at a dealership and only use OEM filters that are identical across 90% of the fleet. There are so many different shapes and sizes across oil filter manufacturers, like different diameters and number of edges, you'll just waste time and money finding various cups and caps that probably won't even fit. Imagine wasting your money buying a whole set.

Pliers

Useless if the oil filter is in a hard to reach spot. Slips off easily. Need to maintain constant pressure as you turn.
Metal band

Useless in hard to reach situations. Rarely do you have the right size, it's always too big or too small. Even if you get the right size, it often slips off.
Claw filter

Works well most of the time, but won't work on small filters or big filters.
Straps

Grips well but won't work if the filter is in a hard to reach spot. Save the tool for your wife or gf to open jars.

Now what genius?
Save yourself $ and headache and buy the filter strap.
