That's a decent tool for the job, but it has a drawback. As you work harder, you tend to squeeze the lockring, which makes it harder to turn. Try using some touch, holding the tool only tight enough that it doesn't slip off.
You might also try using it to flex the ring, Squeeze the ring hard to flex the ring back and forth by switching notches.
BTW- In my experience, impact does a better job separating frozen parts, so you might want to give the chisel a shot. Since you're good with the grinder, shape the end of the chisel to meet the notch when it's set almost at a tangent.
