Hey Kabbanger, welcome to DC! Back in my drumline days, when playing high tensioned drums, I used a Ludwig ratchet key. I have one in my collection now, but only use it to tear down and set up a particular hhat stand.
Is your marching snare cranked way up? If so the ratchet key is easy on the fingers. It's good to have a standard key on stand-by for head changes. The ratchet key is awkward for spinning off the T-rods. There is a key out called the Firefly. I would have liked one of those back in my drumline days.
