Holy Cheezits this oil filter!!!!
#91
I was just glad I finally got it. It was on day 4. If I didn't get it last night, I would have had to tow it somewhere. I was NOT looking forward to paying some shop labor rates for removing a stupid oil filter...

The wrench did that. It started crumpled, then another wrench made it worse, then hours later the screwdriver, then this wrench, after the "**** it" moment, ...never using this wrench again..

Good that you got it off!!!!
Sometimes you have to pull out all the tools to get a filter off. Just did one on my VW and couldn't use any of the above, couldn't get the chain wrench in there either. Ended up using a really big pair of channel-locks and baby turns.
I've had good luck with the pliers that have the serrated jaws. I like the filters that either have the nut imbedded in the end or the roughed up rubbery stuff to get a good grip. Hand tightened is all they need but some people like to reef them on ridiculously tight.
