I don't think a separate tool is necessary.
Well, yes. You don't need one, since you know.

It's the poor unwashed masses who jump in it the first time who need a bit of help.
However... at the moment I think there's a decent balance. The icon conveys the dual nature, the tooltip is informative, and use is fairly coherent. I do see where for many a dedicated tool could come in handy. But better than that, I think perhaps the need could be solved by adding a keyboard modifyier to prevent the segments from going curved.
The key constraint thing is probably the best approach.
Hmmm... but we do happen to have the secondary toolbar. That could also be a decent place to mirror the constraint.
