Good luck on that one - I haven't found one other than the nylon strap that winds around the square steel tube one that Schucks/Checker/Kragen sells - and it dents the filter pretty good...

Most truck supply stores carry bigger filter wrenches.

I get mine at the local NAPA truck store.

When you get one, get a good one.
The cheapies will install the filter, but will never take it off.
Even the best ones don't last that long unless you are very careful with how you pull on the handle.
