The one I have is worn out, but ---
I just ordered 10 of them from Small Bear Electronics - $1.75 each.  I 
will have a lifetime supply when they are delivered.

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...
