Stubborn Oil Filter

Years ago I took a piece of 1" square tubing, about 1' long, then cut a 4" slot down one side from one end. I then took a piece of 4" truck tie-down strap and slid both ends down into the slot, took my propane torch and burned the cut ends, inside the tubing. I now have a loop which I put over an oil filter, put an adjustable wrench on the 1" tubing, and I've yet to see the filter which could stay in place when I get to grunting on that sucker. :)
