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.
Did your tool look anything like this one? I've had it for years and it still works. I used it to get a friend's freewheel off and he was surprised at how much force was needed to do that.
