Why not use the tool as intended with a socket?

In fact, why do we need a tool at all? Why are filters not made easier?

Sometimes it is difficult to do something with a standard tool, I have several home made easy options in my box.
Or alternate use of something else like oil filter strap wrench to prevent shocks turning when undoing the bottom nut.

That never works, that's what chain link vice grips are for!
The above was in reference to holding shocks, a chain wrench just chews through filters. Do you not have the special tool for the td5 filter? The one you have made looks the same design but is a different filter shape to what is on my td5
