You don't need no tool.
Just boot Fedora Live or netinstaller from a USB or DVD/CD and install it to (another) USB as if the target device was a hard drive.
Note:
Booted Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-29-1.2.iso into VirtualBox 6, mounted the usb stick into VirtualBox and did Install to Harddrive, chose USB stick.
Worked perfectly, just had to switch my Thinkpad from Boot from UEFI to both to make it boot from the stick.
Thnx. trying it right now
Please let us know how it works. I've heard about it before but never tried it. If it works, it will be better than what you were looking for, because the space for persistent storage gradually fills up, and doesn't all come back when you delete things. No, I don't know why, but that's what I've read.
I have done that already a few times in the past, and it usually worked without any major problems.
Two quick things to add:
You need to make sure that you install grub, the bootloader, on your USB drive. Anaconda, the Fedora installer, is perfectly able to do so, you just need to make sure the setting is correct - also in order to avoid over-writing an existing Grub on your machine's hard disk (/dev/sda or so). - I will add that information to my answer above.
You need to think about BIOS vs. UEFI installation. To have a universal USB, I'd recommend BIOS-like installation.
