But you might do a search on lockring tools in the forum as a couple people had an ingenious way to turn an old channel lock wrench into a lockring wrench.

Pump?
edit: actually if you are using sram S300 you need the BBT19 bottom bracket tool.
edit2: Are you actually using the s300 or is it that mislabeled s100 courier powerspline thing? If you are using the courier powerspline crank then you need a different tool.
We weren't lying when we said this wasn't cheap.

I didn't actually use a bottom bracket tool of any kind to install mine. Just screwed it in as much as I could by hand and then tightened it down a bit with a big adjustable wrench. No issues after almost a year. YMMV
