A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I bought a Sugino BB tool set. It consisted of one large thin wrench that had a hook on one end to fit the lockring and a closed hole with flats on the other end to fit a fixed cup, and a flat thin wrench-like thingy with two pins for the adjustable cup. They have served me well and worked for every BB I've ever done, though I've used a large adjustable wrench for the fixed cup once or twice or thrice or perhaps even quice.

I second the motion about not removing the fixed cup unless necessary. You can clean and lube it in place. Remove it only if it must be replaced.
