My only thought is that the tension on the swingarm bearings needs to be maintained while doing up the lock ring. The "official" Honda tool has a side extension which allows that, whereas this tool doesn't.

I purchased a copy of the original Honda tool from that same ebay shop that has the extension and also the 17mm hex tool with it.  Just take a look under Honda in their shop.  The extension on the tool has only been tack welded on and is a bit weak as I bent mine undoing the lock nut.  I am going to take mine into work and weld it up properly once I recover from my accident and am back on my feet so I can put the swingarm back in and put the bike back together.
