Oil filter brand

Throw a piece of folded sandpaper in your band wrench to minimize slippage. I would bet the filters are put on by a machine or at least some mechanical assistance device. I've always noticed even the filters I put on seem to be tighter when removing than when installed.

Or try a wide rubber band or the opening of a latex glove. Something to give the metal band grip on the metal.

Can always extend the ratchet for extra torque but I was fine using a standard 3/8" drive SK ratchet.

I have that it absolutely does not work when the filter is stuck. It just rounds off the edges and you need something like the channel locks to manhandle it off.

If the filter socket on the right doesn't get it done, the filter pliers on the left are undefeated in my shop.
