Yeah, it's called a Screwdriver. Just punch it though and twist off the Filter.
Assuming you're not saving them intact.
A Mechanic Friend showed me this years ago. I don't know if Filter attachment has changed, stopping this. I haven't even touched a Filter in Years.
To remove Jar Lids the key is breaking the Vacuum Seal. By slight bending of the edge with
Pliers (or Whatever non-Hammer Tool you have handy like a Screwdriver. Lever tip under Lid on Finger of your gripping Hand), until you hear the Hissing Sound, or by some other means (depends how much damage you can live with).
When I was younger, I used to remove Beer Bottle-Tops with my Teeth simply by easily bending 2 or 3 of the Frills on the Cap until it just fell off.
