You dont need any tools to put a lockring on except a flathead screwdriver. Thread it on reverse (lefty-tighty) and then use the screw driver and something moderatly heavy to knock it on tight. Then tighten it further after you ride it for a while/use a chain whip to tighten it down.

and use the rotofix procedure to losen & tighten down the cog, WAAAAAAY better than a chain whip.

If you can't get things properly tightened with a chain whip and spanner, you need to rethink whether you've got the ability to even stay upright on the bike.

I agree. If you're using a decent chainwhip you should have no problem getting it good and tight. After installing my cog and LR I checked it every day for two weeks and no further tightening of either was necessary.
