All of the above can be accomplished in other various ways just as efficiently.
And I don't want to "argue" about methods, just trying to understand the MUST part of Bob's list.
Maybe it was just him being "Bob". did meet him a few times and he was pretty set in his ways. Make that very set in his ways.
Me, never having seen Bob's list until today, I just found the chain solution much more effective and easy than strap wrenches and various plier form factors. Since we were cruising full time, I was doing a lot of filter changes for one thing. As with any number of other tools, it's a whatever-works-best-for-you type of thing. Obviously Bob felt strongly about it. Probably like my opinion on the stubby GearWrenches. I'd add ratcheting interchangeable bit screw drivers to that too.
