I use a strap wrench that I bought from Sears. Use it near the top, less chance of doing any harm.

Mark,
If you have an old leather belt which has "shrunk" - several of mine have - cut it a little lager than the circumference and grab the "tabs" when you wrap it around with vice grips or channel locks.

Mark;
You can try a "Channel Lock", but be careful not to crush the canister. Also, you can try a rubber strap wrench which are used in the kitchen for opening jars. Those work pretty well.

short of jamming a screw driver into the canister and trying to unscrew it that way, does anyone have another suggestion?
...don't have an oil filter wrench that will close down far enough to grab it.
