Very handy. It was called a Nut Starter. All mine became too worn to use. I tried soda straws of different diameter and they sort of work for awhile, but they tend to split. Turns out Mouser.com has them for about 2 bucks. Search for Menda, the manufacturer or "Nut Starter". I had them throw one in on a previous order. Looks the same only black so probably the original mfr.
Menda might private brand them with "Elecraft" as a promotional giveaway at trade shows or something...

It's a plastic, what I call, a "nut holding" tool. Keeping it all these years I found it to be very handy while assembling my KPA500, KAT500 and K3S. <http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/file/n7629328/DSC00410.jpg><http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/file/n7629328/DSC00410.jpg> ----- Jack WA9FVP Sent from my home-brew I5 Core PC -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Heathkit-Tool-tp7629328.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> . ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
