I said that because I observed several guys on the reflector this morning discussing buying the $50 tool. Apparently they never needed it before, but felt that it is justified for the K3 assembly. Those guys will probably never need it after the K3 assembly.

I will solder mine, but I remember reading years ago that crimp connections are superior to solder - don't know why.

I am buying the kit, so I can't complain, but since it would cost only pennies to do it at Elecraft it seems like it would be a no-brainer if crimping is actually superior.

...In your post you say, "Some of Elecraft's customers are faced with having to spend $50 for a tool to use only one time? Why?", although they have a choice to
do it either way.  Why do you say that?

Please explain the logic of your statement.
