pretty old idea dude. the only bad thing about the screwdriver technique is that it gets very messy.

Not as messy as dropping 4lt of oil down your driveway whilst trying to undo a tight filter....

In case anyone doesnt know, when that happens just hammer it with detergent and let it soak for a few mins! No oil stains!

depends on the size of the filter though, some of the jdm fitted filters are tiny.
