Pro tip: stop using those cheap $20 oil filter wrenches on tight filters

Spent 45 minutes under a 2008 Ford Focus last night trying to get a stuck filter off with one of those claw-style wrenches before I broke down and grabbed a strap wrench from my truck, and it popped right off in about 3 seconds flat, so why do we keep buying the crap that just slips and crushes the filter instead of the thing that actually works?

Didn't a friend of yours try that exact same thing and end up with bloody knuckles?

Did you catch what happened with his knuckles afterward?
