The Ultimate Starter Kit

I keep coming back to this thread for advice so I'll ask here:

What tool do I need to remove the OEM oil filter on the engine? I was expecting one with a bolt head but it's just a good old fashioned oil filter.

Thanks in advance!
It is a bit tricky to get off. I used what I call a python wrench (plastic handle with a rubber cinch strap). Was slow going as not much room to get more than a fraction of a turn at a time. Replaced original filter with bolt head one and my life got a lot easier. Cover your exhaust with something impermeable (I wrap tinfoil around the section) otherwise some oil will drip onto the heat wrap . Will smoke for 20 minutes when you start the car.
