Default Oil Filter Wrench

I've been using the AST TOY 640 oil filter wrench since I bought my '11 460. The problem is it just is a little loose on the filter housing. When removing the housing, or especially when torquing it on, it's difficult to remove the wrench because it it's a hair larger than the housing. I end up having to pry it off which in time I'm affraid will round of the edges on the housing. Not sure if others are having this problem or not but I'd be interested if others are using a different wrench. Here's one I found on Amazon which is deeper and also grabs the upper 2 protruding edges/fins. This pic is followed by the TOY 640 model I'm now using.

The one you have will work just fine, just put a paper towel in the cup before you put it on the filter housing to take up the extra space. Will make removing and installing it much easier.
