i just used a screw driver for my screws. if you have the hex ends you could get an adapter to go on an electric screwdriver or one of those hand-held ones that you can put different bits on.

good luck,
jacob

It's 5/16" I think.

Anyway... a U-joint does wonders also. And word from the wise, get a magnet nearby so you can grab the screw BEFORE it falls into the defroster vents.
