I’ve tried various cup like tools, but they are either to big or small. Ian karr has one in his video that looked good. Not sure where he got it. What do you guys use?
I like this style:

I have the 3 jaw ones too that I use sometimes. Something like this:

The TEKTON pliers worked well for me also.

Large channel locks
I find this easiest.

Links to the tools shown in the video are in the Youtube description pane. You may need to open it up. I get no benefit from purchases .
When all else fails, I put the oil pan under it and hammer a screw driver through it. Turn clockwise
Use K&N filters with a 1" nut welded to the bottom.
This won't help you remove it; this time. Do this and you will never fight one again. Buy a small tube of 100% silicone grease. Found in most hardware and plumbing supply houses. Smear the gasket with a thin layer then screw the filter back on. That's it! An old A&P taught me that several years back. You haven't lived until you try to remove an oil filter from the rear of a Lycoming engine.
Over the years I have used all kinds, but seem to use the strap type the most. I can almost always find a position for access and clearance to swing the handle enough to start the filter turning.
