:wtf?: is that? ^^^^

It is a cool strap wrench, It doesn't show it well but you put the strap around the filter, and the end of the square stock in a half inch ratchet and walla! off comes the filter. Here is another picture of it.

That is what Scotty was bitching about, the AMSOIL filters do not have the pleats in them for that. I for one don't understand why they don't put them in or put on a grip coating. It has been brought to their attention many times.

AH! I didn't catch that part. I thought he meant no rough surface. I must have misread him.

Yeah, I have one of these. But it does NOT work on the Amsoil filters. The filter is completely smooth and round to the very end. I can usually get it off with a rag and a firm grip though. I have had to use a pair of these big ass channel locks before to get one off.

I have one of those universal oil filter wrenches too. I've used it a few times!
