I'd really like to have a tool setting up the hoods, or at least copy the one / left / right hood location to the other side. I always discover after a while that one lever is just different but am too lazy to re-do again (for a long time). I know of the 3dpbs tool, the Abbey Bike Tools Lever Setter (which is basically just a M6 to M10 adapter for hanger alignment gauges).
I could use my gear hanger alignment gauge; but since the M6 / M10 adapter thingy from Abbey isn't available currently, maybe tinkering something with screw-in nut sockets (or however they're called) in a piece of plywood.
I can't imagine using the 3dpbs tool because the bike needs to be in level? Also funny discussion at the Instagram post of the tool about the level marking.
Another idea would be to use kind of a measurement tool, which is attached to the handlebar (like when attaching the hoods upfront on the table before mounting the handlebar at all), but can be moved vertically, so that it is not attached to the flat part of the drops. The image is really bad. I'll draw another one.
