Guys sorry to hear this... but when I first tried this same setup that I did, the strap wrench was also slipping. I was all anxious, sweaty hands, etc.... LOL. Just make sure you get a good firm grip of both the robo grip and the strap wrench. Make sure the rubber lining on the strap wrench stays inside the groove. It shouldn't slip off.
If it still keeps slipping, wrap some duct tape around the knob, then wrap the strap wrench on that...even electrical tape, whatever makes the strap wrench rubber grab.
