Stop in for a cup of coffee

I usually wrench filters just a little past hand tight. Like maybe a quarter turn. I have done the screwdriver through, but really if its that tight it usually acts like a can opener when you try to turn it. Gripping with sandpaper folded grit out, wrapped around the filter can help either by hand or under a slipping strap wrench. My preference is a cap wrench if it has a hex top. The rough coated filters help too.
