I own and particularly like this one: Oil Filter Wrench

While technically a Mercedes wrench, it has the requisite 74mm/14 flutes... but in addition, it's cheap, and it has 2 locking bolts which keep the cannister in place, not always possible with the 'porsche' wrench, especially if the plastic canister is slick with oil... it's easy to 'round off' the flutes on the canister. Has both a 3/8" female and a 22mm(?) Hex drive so it's easy to get a torque wrench on it.
