One way I always worked around using a tool like this was to assemble the masterlink on a sprocket. You would pull the chain tight, and slowly rotate the wheel/sprocket to a point where the links could easily stay on the sprocket without much effort. Then assemble the masterlink with the chain ends on the sprocket, and poof.
Of course this assumes you have access to the wheel/sprocket, which we usually allowed for.
