I have something like that too but I had a bike that the filter was literally an inch away from the radiator,so I bought my pliers and I've been 100% happy with them.

In the future don't put it on so tight and safety wire it. Also the channel locks near the base work well. To safety wire the filter put a large hose clamp on it and then wire the hose clamp to something solid. Or get the K&N filters they have a nut with a hole in it already but I like OEM filters.

I have a K & N, a whole lot easier to get it off, at least for me. The last OEM one i had, I had to stab it with a screwdriver

Im with him.. I only hand tighten on my filters, then safety wire them. The pressure from the oil actually keeps it nice and snug.

Screwdriver + hammer = best filter wrench ever.

Or you could go with this:
