Default Oil filter tool advice

Hi guys, going to do my own oil and filter change this time, as last time I had it done, the mechanic dumped the whole contents of the oil container in, and I had to remove 1½ litres after noticing oil oozing through the cam seals. Question is what size oil filter removal tool to buy....thanks!
