Lock ring tool choice

In case anyone else is shopping for a headset lock ring tool:

On old threaded headsets, sometimes, there are lock rings about 35mm in diameter.
I found a Park HCW-17model, after I ordered the Hozan C-205. The Park describes a useful diameter range, but the Hozan does not. I'm hoping the Hozan has a smaller diameter...

I considered a Hozan adjustable pliers, but was dissuaded by the $50 price tag. Plus, while it would work well on notches 180 degrees apart, probably not so well on the triple notch lock rings.
