Dumb Question Thread - No Flaming Allowed

Doing some searching on fuel pump lock ring tools and just like seemingly everything else there are a ton of choices. Genuine BMW tool (#161020) is out due to price, but the BAUM, AST and Schwaben offerings look very similar to the genuine tool. Then there are CTA & BavAuto tools that look similar to one another but different from the genuine tool (complete circular contact with ring vs. open sides).

For those of you using one of these tools, which brand(s) are recommended?

Cheapest one as you'll probably only use it once. Or stick with the ol' multitasker - large flat head and a hammer lol

A large flathead does work fine, just alternate which tabs you strike as to not bend one tab up. I use a tool that can be found locally almost anywhere.
This isn't the specific one but mine is of this style.
