Yeah I find a 12" adjustable wrench is usually fine. If you need a ten foot pole you probably overtightened it.

That probably is too much leverage
It's too little, in fact. It takes 3lb on the end of a ten foot pole to generate the 40Nm tightening torque for the lockring, and 3lb is a lot more than a touch :)

I still wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole, and I actually own a 7800 cassette :)
