This mechanic has a longer video explaining how he struggled with other tools, bought the Mayhew 29912 kit with 3 adapters and highly recommends it. Read the comments too.
No, I agree it looks a bit gimmicky to me too but who knows it may be worth a go. These roller cam styles have been around a long time under other makes.

Me either. He mentioned that the design of the inner tie rod stops the cam from getting grip, but from the pictures, these look similar to most other inner tie rods.
This tool works as advertised. Last week I replaced the inner tie rods on the Eurovan. Other than having to remove the rubber bellow boot stoppers on the tie rods (for the tool to fit), it performed flawlessly. Stick in in, turn, and the tie rod will move in the direction desired.
