Here is some more information from poster "Fletch944T" at Clark's Garage Message Board -

"I believe that NAPA, Autozone, and Carquest all sell the Krikit tool. It's actually made by Gates (the belt company) and the Gates part number is 09001 (for the Krikit I). The odd thing is that Porsche sells the Krikit tool under part number 000 721 957 40 for the 911 which they call Special Tool 9574. Porsche charges about $40 for the tool. However, there are three versions of the Krikit tool for different tension ranges (Krikit I, II, and III). I'm not sure if the one sold by Porsche for the 911 is the correct range for the 944. The one you need is the Krikit I. You can get it at NAPA for about $10."

Per Mr. Fletch, the one you want (and the one referenced by Napa P/N KR-1) is the Krikit 1.
