I have both strap type and chain type removal tools, Never needed to use them on a my bikes as I can get a good enough grip by hand. But use the tools on cars where I cannot get a good enough grip and occasionally still resort to big screwdriver and hammer.

Now big up to Renault with their 1.5DCI engine as on my lads van. The filter is on top of the engine, no excuse to neglect it as it is so easy to get at.

Tightening is always by hand, smear a little oil on the new filter seal and screw up till hand tight and then 1/2 a turn
