I never have a prob with my oil filter wrench. I never tighten my filters that much so it's only a few 1/8 turns before i can get it by hand

Agreed. Also a rubber glove (kitchen dishwashing kind) works well most of the time, no wrench needed.

You only have to put the new filter on finger-tight. The person that owned your cobra before was probably a dumbass and didn't know that.

I put it on finger tight then give it a little twist with a wrench. I use the wrench because usually my fingers are oil soaked so I don't get a good grip on the filter.
