New to the "sport," and already neck deep in mods. I have a Metallica Premium, and among my first steps were the Mezel fang mods. I found some of the screws to be a tight fit, bit I managed.

Well, my Pingraffix snake mod just arrived, and I am finding life to be much grander with the use of this cheap little tool I snagged while visiting family last week. A ratcheting, right angle screwdriver with multiple bits, for a whopping $3.99 at Harbor Freight.

The sticker kit requires that the "flame" protector come off the ramp (well, maybe not require, but I know it will make installation easier). This ramp has a bolt that would be a challenge for anything else (except an offset screwdriver).

This tool has a knirled thumbwheel to allow for finger ratcheting, or you can use the lever. A simple switch reverses the direction.

Thos might be old hat to many pros on here, but from one "new kid" to another- I strongly recommend this.
