I always put mine on and off by hand. Never have had any problems.

Yeah, I generally use a rubber strap wrench. No leaks, seems to work okay.

i was amused to notice that tightening it by hand was about 29Nm, after i went to all the trouble to get the filter removal tool and find my torque wrench.

My hands are all I've ever used for tightening, both with the old paper canister and my new spin-on...
