Exactly what I meant by finger type.

They work great because you are spinning the filter at the center point and not around the outside which causes you to just be pushing and turning a little with all the force being applied.

Here is another 3 finger wrench at sears.

I am in South Jersey and if your not all the way up there maybe I will come take it off for you.

I'm in the meadowlands area, but the car is at my father's house...in northern bergen county (near New York State).

Wow...I like that wrench. I think I may pick that up from Sears and give this another shot.
