Fuel filter cap 7.3

Is there an aftermarket company that makes a cap for the fuel filter that is similar to the 6.0, 6.4 that works on the 7.3? It would make life so much easier and I know that people make a "wrench" for it seems more reasonable to change the cap. Any help is appreciated.

Lay a screwdriver in the slots to "wrench" the cap. Some filters come with a new cap attached. The advice you will get is to stay with Ford or International. I trust Racor and Baldwin for filters but that is just me. Baldwin, 100% on oil filters. I've never doubted their fuel filters but have been warned against a few of them.
