If new headsets would wind up cheaper than than the tools, I'll probably go with the new headsets. I'm all vintaged up at the moment and I don't anticipate any additions unless it's something super special. Now that I've encountered this, I would also measure the headset locknuts on any future acquisitions before committing and factor that in.

You need to look around some more on the Hozan lockring tool. You can find it cheaper at Universal Cycles or even on Amazon. $46 is about $15 more than it sells for elsewhere. You might consider this tool as well. It’s much cheaper and works well enough on the headset lock ring.
