I had bought a no-name brand just like this one for my Honda Shadow Spirit, and it broke right at the weld lines. You see, some wrenches tack on the 3/8" socket, and if your filter was overtightened on like mine was, you'll torque that thin weld line right off. Then after swearing for a few minutes how things were better made "back then", you'll do an internet search and come across this Honda wrench.This Honda filter seems to be cast in one piece, so it worked nicely in my case.

Fit my oil filter just right so was easy job done in 2 minutes. Honda changed size of oil filters a few years agoHonest reviews on Genuine Honda Oil Filter Wrench
Just purchased a used CR-V and since I have no knowledge of the repair or maintenance reports, I usually change the Motor Oil with filter, Transmission fluid (No changeable Filter on the Honda) Air filter, Breaks and top off all the fluids. Air Filter was easy, oil drain a snap But the Little Baby Filter WOW. I tried from underneath, have car ramps, and from the engine compartment and then through the passenger wheel well. I have several different styles of wrenches but all kept slipping off, glad the neighborhood kids were not around. Just like the Christmas Story dad, I was weaving a tapestry of profanity. I remember my dad saying "profanity is a sign of a poor vocabulary", I thought well you sent me those @#$^ schools?I went on line and watched a few you tube videos, everyone was taking off the filter by hand? I guy said just go to your local Honda Dealer and buy a wrench for $20. Not me I went to the Zone for $6. Went back to the Zone to return the wrench after it kept falling off. So took our 2004 CRV to my Local Honda dealer 8 miles away.
Out of stock, we cant carry everything. Can order one of you could drive 35 miles to another Honda Dealer that has ONE in stock, I asked the nice counter lady to please hold it and I will come and pick it up. As I was leaving I asked the counter person how many of those golf umbrellas on display do you sell?
A half hour later to the dealership and there it was waiting my nice new still in a bag (silver not sterling)wrench for just $35. I asked the counter guy and where the drain plug is for the tranny, he was nice enough to print me a schematic. Drove home thinking about all of our Chrysler cars over the years. Crawled back under the car, attached my socket wrench to to 16mm or 17mm nut attached to the wrench. A turn "lefty lucy" and off it came. My replacement Fram filter is somewhat larger at the outside end. But success off it came. Tranny drain was simple once I broke the bolt free. Used Lucas ATF and saved money from the $22. qt Honda charges. All in all I thing I came out ahead. Never stop learning!!
