The screwdriver is the most fun, of course.
I also hand tighten my oil filters, but sometimes they just get stuck on there. The oil filter on my Scion is a bitch to get to with an oil filter wrench or with the ghetto screwdriver stabbing technique (had to use to remove the factory filter). The K&N works perfectly should I need something other than my hand to take off the filter.
