Now how am I going to remember this?

Ralph: I used to tell my students the easiest way to remember how to do something was to commit it to muscle memory by practicing something over and over until you could do it blindfolded or behind your back

Thanks Frank, that is a good idea. Now if I could find something to practice on.

There's a reason why good strap wrenches have a rubber or rubber-coated belt; there has to be good friction between belt and 'nut' for this style wrench to work on smooth surfaces (like an oil filter). Notice that in the gif the nut has distinctive ribs to grip - probably a deliberate choice.
