I haven't used one of those since the 80's.

On a 987.2, there's a lot of crap around the filter. You need the one with a hinged handle.

Most cars are like that now, that's why I haven't used one of those since the 80's.

I use cup wrenches mostly, and I have a strap wrench that connects to a 1/2" ratchet for those really tough ones.

That thing has never failed me, even on filters that got crushed from other wrenches.
