Drill the jaws to accept some music wire pins and you'd have the best of both worlds in one tool.
I made a pin spanner from a couple of 6" lengths (150 mm to you metric types) of 1/4" (6 mm) square steel stock hinged together at one end. . I drilled and tapped the other ends of the bars for #4-40 bolts, screwed in the bolts and trimmed the projecting ends short enough to just fit in the adjustable cup recesses. You could modify your new lockring tool the same way.
