I use a cheap strap wrench I picked up at Harbor Freight.

Good idea.  However........................

 

Has the wrench broken yet?  You know it will.  How many times have you used the wrench?

I've been using for about a year and it's holding up so far. I don't crank it down with everything I have :-) Also, there's a Harbor Freight a half mile from my work, so I can always grab another.

I grab it by the rolling ring on opposite sides with my fingers and then use my thumbs to hit the longer wings on the cap to give equal force tightening.

 

I also make sure to wet the rim of the drum and the top of the clear plastic cap to provide "lube" so everything slides smoothly.

I must say, even though I don't use my fart anymore, all I did was hand tighten both ends at the same time and mine never leaked.

 

Same, I use mine regularly and basically do what Intel6 describes above.
