itri,

While I would not say avoid Park tool they are not a defacto standard. I own some of their stuff. Not bad, but you can usually do equal for less money and much better for more green. I have the Hozan and it is well worth owning. My guess is the Park tools is just fine, also. You'll also want a chain whip. That way, you can actively tighten the cog down before tightening the lock ring. It is most likely you have a 3/32 cog and that would put you in luck as almost every chain whip comes with a 3/32 chain on it. Remember - cog tightens clockwise and lockring tightens counter-clockwise.

I wanted to edit this as I felt I came across a bit harsh about Park. I own their SR-2 chainwhip and PW-3 pedal wrench and consider both to be best of breed products. Nothing offers more leverage or control (My Campy peanut butter wrench sits in the tool box while I grab the pedal wrench for 15mm bolts). I also own their tensionometer and consider it the best bang for the buck product. Works great.
