Darksoul chain tool equivalent for #35 chain

Due to the harshness of Stronghold, our team is switching to #35 chain for the drivetrain. We haven't used that since our rookie year, so I don't know how they dealt with it. But I've been spoiled by the Darksoul chain tool for #25 chain, which can make and break chain in a continuous loop. Is there an equivalent for #35 chain? Or is there no choice but to use #35 masterlinks?

If there is no way to remake the chain, won't chain become a consumable? There must be a way to reuse chain. Or is the dark soul chain tool an exception?

If there is no equivalent COTS item, would it be possible to create your own? After all, the dark soul chain tool is only made of very precise pieces of metal with threaded holes; there are no complicated parts/specific materials. Besides, I can see a #35 "dark soul" chain tool being very popular this year, when somebody breaks their #25 chain.
