I use the type that fits on the bottom of the filter for you to use a ratchet wrench to get the filter off.
Use an empty 2 liter coke bottle.
Cut the bottom off and leave the cap on.
Cut a slot in the coke bottle for the wrench and filter end cap to fit inside.
Slip the coke bottle under the filter.
Use the ratchet to take off the filter, letting it, and the oil inside, to fall inside the coke bottle.
Easy, no mess way to get the filter off and keep oil from getting all over your motor.

HD Billett one that fits on your 3/8th ratchett extension and fits the HD oil filters exclusively as far as I know, and it has never failed...Buy it once and it will last you a lifetime. $20.00

After what I've learned on this forum I'm thinking that not using this one will void your warranty. If your warranty is expired not using one could cause a potentially dangerous condition resulting in severe injury or death!!
