Maybe it is ghetto, but whatever. It's what I can do right now, and I was asking for some advice on it. From what I've heard/read the rotafix method does a fine job of tightening the cog. I used my lockring wrench to tighten the lockring, so that doesn't matter.
I didn't want to just hear the answer I wanted, I wanted an answer that actually answered what I asked, not one telling me to get the "right" tool, etc.
Anyways, thanks for the help/advice.
