I have a good size square 3/8" plate that I attach to an engine stand. The plate sits horizontal like a table when attached to the stand. The third drops through a large hole in the plate. and is secured with milling machine type T-clamps. I can then rotate the third horizontal, pinion up or gears up. The plate also doubles as a convenient place to mount dial indicator mag base. For holding pinion I made a custom tool. My thirds are all e-locker 80 series so I just use the shims, no spanner needed. Have a 40 ton press and bearing separator and a collection of pipes and regular hand tools cover the rest.

I've got 2 ARB's to install, and I usually have the final set up done in a shop. That wrench looks like it is
very effective. I'm going to talk to a buddy, and maybe see about getting one. I like it.

This is what i use to torque up the carrier bearings, modified one to suit the arb adjuster wheel by adding hardened pins at the correct pcd.

I sure it wasnt that expensive when i bought it though.....
