I just invested in a spring clamp remover versus using vice grips. Makes the job of removing the spring clip lower on the CCV filter hose far easier, then you don't have to pop off that 10mm bolt. But yeah, just a minor inconvenience to go through the top. I don't even employ the ziploc bag. I find that the first inch or so of oil is siphoned out of the filter whenever I change the oil.
I don't use the bag either since I normally let mine drain overnight and the oil is down from the top and easily removed without spilling. I did it to show how well it works for those that want to pull the filter immediately.
That looks like a good tool to have.
