Here's a quick attempt.

Used a heat gun to soften the PVC fitting & pressed it onto the tool.

The fittings are not glued so far.

Only used a couple of times now, but works.

I think a pivoting handle- like a breaker bar- would be good.

Another option:
get a crowfoot wrench that fits one of the lockring tools [mine is 1"]. This will allow use of any pivoting/fixed breaker bar.
You'll still need a chain whip and a cheater pipe, but that cassette WILL come off...
