The strap wrench is a different tool. It utilizes a heavy duty plastic handle with a heavy duty (slip-proof) rubber belt. This rubber belt is what contacts directly with your stock shift knob for removal. It should not have torn your shift knob leather if used correctly. A vice grip would definitely do that, even with gobs of towels/cloth.
