Alternatives to Pedro's Chain Keeper?

I am looking for something like this Pedro's Chain Keeper. I know there are some DIY options, but I have a lot of DIY projects on my list and I prefer an off the shelf solution. Google is not helping me find any thing but the Pedro's tool. Is there anything else like this?

Yeah. Guys got a bolt and wing nut along with some plastic spacers and washers at a hardware store and put something together. Not much of a DIY as it should take less than 20 min of poking around at a hardware store to come up with something.

I don't use it as I couldn't find anything local so I did a DIY with a quick release bolt from a seat collar, but this is one I had come across while looking:

Just found out about this one a couple of days ago in an email from Art's



Art's Cyclery Butter b1 Chain Keeper

Seems expensive, but it looks very nice. Usual, no affiliation, etc., etc., etc.
