I have had my hex-key for quite some time and have enjoyed it. I opened up the original adjustments a bit, as the magnets were in contact. By breaking that contact, they are then 'floating in tension' and it gives it a nice feel.
I have not had problems with the feet, but I use a little swath of anti-slip cloth, available at Wal-Mart, underneath the key. This mainly cause I am heavy handed. Most folks will be just fine with the substantial weight of the paddles keeping the thing in place. Enjoy and Happy Holidays. - David Wilburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] K4DGW K2 S/N 5982 On Thu, 2007-12-13 at 16:51 -0800, Fred Jensen wrote: > I bought the Elecraft HexKey on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday > [yesterday].
