Provided is a modular tool for installing a platform into a tower section of a wind turbine tower, comprising a first body element, a second body element, wherein each body element has a first base plate, on which the tower section rests in use of the modular tool, and a second base plate, which rests on a foundation in use of the modular tool, wherein the base plates are spaced apart from each other and are arranged parallel to each other, and at least one connecting beam that detachable connects the body elements to each other and that defines a width of a gap between the body elements. Due to the fact that the at least one connecting beam detachable connects the body elements to each other, the modular tool can be easily adapted to different tower diameters by replacing the at least one connecting beam.
