The strap wrench applies uniform pressure to the collar so you can really tighten it. If you use a pipe wrench or a large pair of adjustable pliers (Channelocks) you are applying pressure at 2 points on the collar. That distortion makes it hard to turn the collar but it really is not tight on the packing.
