Jar openers also work.
And, they serve double service! :)

Hey Big Bill,
The rubber strap jar wrench I tried first. The filter was way to thin for the thick rubber on the wrench. It kept slipping off. That is why I went to something that has no give once it is tightened down.
Jerry, the thumb screw idea sounds great. I believe some of the clamps are manufactured with them. I will have to look for one. The I won't have to use driver of any kind.
Thanks you guys for adding comments.

You can also use a kitchen lid gripper like the one you have that was broken. It has small metal teeth so I first put a balloon over the lens and then use the gripper. Sometimes the balloon works by itself. It keeps your hands from slipping.

I had the same problem --- got a jar cap wrench which slipped off the metal filter ring, then I applied two layers of 1/4" masking tape to the filter and viola, off came the filter.
