Heat block holding tool

So over time, there have been several great tools created to hold the heat block during nozzle changes. Ya know, something better than just a spanner wrench.

Now, trying to find one isn't easy. Most just aren't in stock anymore. Does anyone have a source for one of the various tools for purchase?

I like the Z-Catch tool a lot: https://z-catch.com/ (I think it's also on Amazon or PrintedSolid.com etc). 

A bit pricey but it works exceedingly well for both Mk3S and Mini.

Keep coming back to the 16mm spanner

I've purchased a z-catch, the bracket that ships with the 3D Solex nozzles, and built one of the "grabber" tools, but I keep coming back to the 16mm spanner I got as part of a nozzle pack. It's just quick and easy to use with no fuss. The other solutions work, but they just don't offer anything compelling for me.
