My Multifix type tool post arrived and I used it also. It is way better than the aluminium quick change tool post I used before even if it is just fixed with a simple M10 bolt. However, the first use I made for it was to create a tool post holder screw. I measured all the dimensions, found a piece of steel rod in a hardware shop near me which I could use and made the tool post holder. It took some time and not without mistakes, but finally it is ready. It is not perfect, but will be much better than the threaded rod I used originally. I will probably make a new one without the mistakes, now that I learned something while making this one.
