No. I just use Channel-locks. It shouldn't be very tight. If you over tighten it the bike will handle crazy.You're only looking for a little past snug. Be careful when you pull that apart. It is full of little ball bearings and when it comes loose they will go everywhere. Chances are you will replace them as most of them need it. Does it feel notchy or possibly click into position in the center? If so the steering bearings are bad.You can get tapered bearing replacement kits for it pretty cheap. Around $35 shipped on ebay.
