FWIW I recently used a pair of silsons (in the US maybe you call them a different name? pipe wrench?). Grab the whole can and unscrew.
Works like a charm - actually was easier than the previous dedicated oil filter tool I used to have years ago.
No need to buy a special tool (or to drill!) if you have something that can do the job already lying around.
