Avoid the stealership for tools.
Here's what I use. They are available, cheap, in various standard sizes. Check at some auto parts stores (got this at Canadian Tire up here.)

My strap wrench works just fine even though I have a number of different size cap wrenches.

If you're getting the "cup" style oil filter wrench, bring your own filter. With my Mazda, I didn't have my OEM filter on hand, so I used a FRAM replacement at the auto parts store, the wrench did not work when I got home. Needless to say, some after market filter brands are not the same diameter as the OEM filter.
I have a Craftsman adjustable claw one just like the one rook posted. The only negative about an adjustable wrench is it requires two hands, one holding the wrench until the claws get a "bite" on the filter. On the bright side, it'll be the last oil filter wrench you'll need to buy.

Besides all my other cars and my current '08 Sport, I've owned 2nd gen and 3rd gen 4Runners. I never needed anything more than the basic strap wrench but with a pivoting arm. I think you guyz are getting a bit too "tool happy"!
