1. An apparatus for guiding an anti-rotation key installation tool in a tubular connection, the apparatus comprising: a guide frame having at least one magnet mounting member;a tool positioning member coupled to the guide frame and having a first end and a second end;an installation tool positioning channel extending from the first end to the second end of the tool positioning member with an opening at the first end of the tool positioning member for accepting a portion of the anti-rotation key installation tool and an anti-rotation key recess located at the second end of the tool positioning member, the anti rotation key recess sized to house an anti-rotation key for installation in the tubular connection by the anti-rotation key installation tool; andat least one switchable frame securing magnet assembly mounted to the at least one magnet mounting member for releasably securing a face of the frame securing magnet assembly of the apparatus to an outer surface of the tubular connection, and wherein the tool positioning channel extends in a direction generally normal to the face of the frame securing magnet assembly so that when the face of the frame securing magnet assembly is releasably secured to the outer surface of the tubular connection, the anti-rotation key recess is proximate to the tubular connection and the second end of the tool positioning member faces in a direction generally away from the tubular connection. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the tool positioning member further comprises at least one key securing magnet for maintaining the position of the anti-rotation key within the anti-rotation key recess. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the guide frame has a first and second vertical member and the tool positioning member is fixed to a top end of each of the first and second vertical members. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the tool positioning member further comprises a tool striking block positioned within the tool positioning channel. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the at least one frame securing magnet assembly has an inner shaped face for contacting an outer surface of the tubular connection, the apparatus further comprises rubber members positioned the inner shaped face of each of the at least one frame securing magnet assembly. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the frame securing magnet assembly is a mechanically switchable magnet with a switch moveable between an off position and an on position such that when the switch is moved to the on position, the at least one frame securing magnet assembly is activated and when the switch is moved to the off position, the at least one frame securing magnet assembly is deactivated. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the tool positioning member further comprises at least one key securing magnet for maintaining the position of the anti-rotation key within the anti-rotation key recess. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the magnet mounting member is formed from a non-magnetic material.
