Where did you guys get yours? All of the filter wrenches I have at home are designed for larger automotive filters.

Ditto on the Rubber strap wrench. IIRC $10 gets you 3 sizes at Sears.

Use Dow Corning DC-4 on the filter gasket and you won't need any wrench at all. A tube will last you a lifetime of bikes and cars as well. Let me know if you need source info.

Last resort...drive a screwdriver through the canister and use it as a lever.
