Anyone know if a company is manufacturing the old red plastic nut starters like Heath included in every kit?  I found a Stanley Tools part number with a price of $1.87 but don't know if these are the same type of really flexible plastic.  The old Heath units could start a 6-32 nut and a bolt with either a round or flat head.

I do have one of the "new" style nut starters which is actually a part retrieval tool with four retractable spring fingers....it works quite well but it ain't the same!
