Best Fuel/Oil filter wrench?

[Evening Shade]

I'm curious what oil filter wrench others have found that work best in the tight quarters of these boats?

Also, what tricks are people using to keep from spilling oil or gas in the bilge when changing the filter. I use a ziplock bag to catch the filter/oil with limited success.

I usually take off filters by hand, but when really really stuck use this style.

P.S. Gallon size ziplock is best I have found, but best to double bag...Sometimes I get a little leak. Place the gallon size over the whole bracket...

I used what's called a Strap Wrench. https://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Rub...s=strap+wrench

I find these work pretty well with filters. The fuel filter shouldn't be too bad to get out without spilling. I still put a towel underneath it. The oil filter is a pain. No matter what I do, it's going to spill some oil. I just load a bunch of towels in underneath before it comes off. As soon as I can, I plug the filter with a paper towel and then maneuver it out of the boat.

I use a large set of channel locks for some boats and a vice grip oil filter wrench for others. I still carry rubber strap wrenches and oil filter socket adaptors in my tool boxes. most of the time I can remove the filter by hand. And if they are really stuck a hammer and chisel. It really depends on the job.
