You need a consistent and accurate point if reference. The whole point of the procedure is to compensate for any inconsistency in the housing casting. For all intents and purposes, a dedicated pinion depth tool replicates how the factory would have done it.
The pucks used in the T&D tool represent a standardized measurement point which takes the guess work out of it. The adjuster threads are machined into the case which provides a static reference for repeatable results.
Sure you can do it however you want but the tool makes it easier to just do what you need to do rather than futzing around with some alternate method.
