Strap wrench. This should make the top 10.

The big one is great for water filters.

Heh, they have many more applications. I keep a small one
in the kitchen for bottles and jars. I frequently use one
for repairs/adjustments to the sprinkler pipes. I've
removed a stuck filter from a camera lens with a strap
wrench. Removed escutcheons from the shower faucets.
And that's just this afternoon... okay I'm kiddin' but
I do use mine very frequently.
