If its moving around, I might drill holes in a board that match the feet of
the key and set it down on into the holes. Bolt, glue, clamp the board down
to your table as you see fit.

Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hex Key 

 

I have been relearning to send CW again. I am using a Bencher/Elecraft Hex 

Key Serial # E067. 

It is a typical bencher key with a weight of 3 lbs 2 ounces. I guess I am 

heavy handed and have been slapping that thing around the desk like a red 

headed step child. lol. 

I went and looked for a heavy key and about fell off the chair to find that 

the Bencher Hex is now selling for $325. 

Does anyone know how many of the Bencher/Elecraft keys were made? 

I did find a heavy key, I ordered the K8RA Big Dog P5 key at 7 lbs. I hope 

it stays put. 

 

Any suggestions about tips to help me send lighter and or the number of 

Elecraft hex keys made I would appreciated it. 

 

Thanks
