Default 2010 Corolla oil filter wrench

Guys,
I just got a 2010 Corolla & I changed the oil in it a couple of days ago. I was surprised that they are using a cartridge type of oil filter. I had to use a strap wrench to get the filter housing off. I did a search & found this tool. Does anyone know of a better tool? This one seems pretty good.
I just noticed this is a Camry forum....

It's a good chance that one won't fit just right. The actual size you need is a 65mm.

Yea man, I just hated to see you order that one and it not work. Toyota makes one specifically for them. They're pricy but very good quality.

Update: I ordered the one from Amazon that I mentioned because it wasn't too expensive & I could return it if necessary.. I tried it for fit & to see if I could loosen the housing without it slipping. It worked good. Thx everybody for the assistance.

I got one for my neighbor's 2012 Camry. Works like a charm. The filter housing was waaaaaay over-tightened.

Filter over tightened.
Filter cross threaded (not good)
Debris in filter threads.
