Clutch self-adjusting tool for Velocity AP

I have a Velocity AP Twin Plate Organic Clutch & Lightweight Flywheel kit for ASM (Sportshift). The instructions require the clutch to be compressed with kit: www.amazon.com/Chameleon-CHA3061-Clutch-Tool/dp/B08B8Y2B8M

Unfortunately, that kit is no longer available. Has anyone used something similar to compress the twin-plate clutch for installation? If so, what did you use?
Thanks

I'll preface this by saying that I know nothing about these clutch tool kits, but I do have "mad search skilz" and from what I can tell, one of these may work...

https://www.amazon.com/8MILELAKE-Self-adjusting-Components-Universal-SAC/dp/B012FC7B7U

https://www.amazon.com/Adjusting-Assembly-Universal-Alignment-Setting/dp/B08FBCMGH5

If you use the search term "Clutch Alignment Tool, 38pcs Universal SAC Self Adjusting Clutch Assembly Tool" on Amazon you get links to about a bazillion of the same tool kit, probably all being shipped from China.

If someone can confirm for you that this one would work, then you have a ton of options.

Note that none of these look to be as high of quality as the Chameleon kit. However, if it gets the job done, then I guess it doesn't need to be heirloom quality... Not like you'll be changing clutches monthly or anything.

if you do a search someone build their own and it didn't look too complicated

Got it - thanks. Looks like any kit with a 3-lobe plate and M6 long flywheel bolts will work.
