Is there a tool that satellite installers use to pinpoint the location

There are tools. But they are expensive. There is a web site that
you can plug in your address and it will give you the direction to
most of the commercial satelites. You can even get an overhead view
of your property with directions on it.

Unless you are extremely wooded or pretty far to the north getting a
clear shot at the satelites is usually possible. If you want to swag
it, t's going to be somewhere between south east and south west at
about 90 - the deg of latitude you are located at.
