Put a piece of sandpaper or even a rag in the tool to help it fit and grip better.
Try Motorworks for the tool, some filters require a slightly different one.

Will give that a go tomorrow
Filter
Is the filter a Moto Bins pattern one? these are slightly smaller and are supplied with their own tool. Looks the same as a normal one but sightly smaller and NOT interchangeable.

It might not be the filter tool at all, you could have the correct tool. It could be an aftermarket generic filter with different end fittings.

I have just wasted an hour tearing my garage apart (full of crap) looking for the above item. Sop thought I' take the sump plate off and get another tool,
and guess what? I'd left the tool on the filter wnen it was last changed!.
No harm done but glad it dident rub a hole in the fliter! would have been a laugh. So, if you ever loose your filter tool remember the lesson of today!.
