had a similar tool for removing freewheels - one side would hold the FW tool, the other had two posts that would fit either side of a fence or pipe or similar. piece of carp, broke after a couple uses, fw's spin on too tight, tool cracked in half.
never tried the union tool. i found that if i tighten the lockring to 6-clicks past finger tight, i can remove with the wrench holding the cogs with a sock or old newspaper or whatever i find roadside.
don't mind the couple ounces of 6" crescent. many uses on tour.
