Not if it's on properly. Unless you're some superhuman clamp handed beast.
I had one on tight once and no tool so I drilled a hole in the side and used a screwdriver to loosen it. Bit messy.
I now use the K&N HP-1004 which has a 1 inch nut on the end and a hole for safety wire.

geeze how tight are you guys putting the filter on?
I dont have a problem removing mine by hand when its time to change my oil, takes a hair of elbow grease but I dont need a tool or a srew driver.
Am I missing something here?

I agree you are tightening to tight. There is no need to crank it all the way down. Tighten by hand and back off 1/4 turn or less. Ive been doing it this way for 25 years and never had a leak or problem otherwise.
