Let's see your oil filter wrench
So far my favorite oil filter wrench was dirt cheap and I think I got it at Walmart.
It's nothing fancy but grabs the oil filter tight and doesn't let go.
Yeah, it dents the filter badly sometimes when removing but works well.
Here's mine.
Let's see yours, what are you using?

I bought this in 2010 for $9. It is a Gearwrench 65mm ‘socket’ with 14 flutes. It fits the Toyota/Lexus canister filter caps as well as many of the Toyota sedan spin-on filters, oem and aftermarket. I also have a Lisle 63600, Lisle 63600 Oil Filter Tool,U.S.,2-1/2 - 3-1/8 https://a.co/d/9ZyZZxd

Due to an injury on my elbows and wrists I've lost about half my grip I once had, plus on top of that Im getting older. Lol
Even when I spin the filter on hand tight, I can't remove without a wrench.
Oh, by the way, never noticed this before but my wrench says "Fram" on the handle.

I use the Channellock 209s on my Highlander. Really gets up in there and grips hard to get that filter off. Has been working great for 15 years
On my RX w/ the 2GR, I use the TechPro OS-011-1, I like the slightly oversized 64.45mm "plastic" housing version vs. the blue 64.2mm version, as this one never has issues getting stuck on and having to get punched off

Took me 2 hours to get the dang filter off last time. Fram synthetic one. Pretty sure it was hand tightened by someone else last time but I felt defeated after 2 trips to autozone and using 5+ different type of filter wrenches.
Almost drove to the Tesla dealer to trade in. Ha

Oh wow, I thought you were joking with us so I was playing along. Haha 🤓
It's always harder coming off than spinning it on for some reason.
And, if the last guy slammed it on hard like a monkey it will require mangling the oil filter to get it back off. Lol

For Toyota I mostly use these.
If I need leverage I bring out Bertha.

I found a gem of a tool recently thanks to the 4Runner guys. This thing perfectly fits D series oil filters for the RX330/400h (D1 and D3). It's not some cheap China tool. Very heavy-duty and made of Cr-V too!
