[Boatanchors] NUT STARTERS

[james.liles at comcast.net]

Hi Bill:

The finest nut starter that I have ever used is a jewelers pickup tool. 
Maybe $6.00 on ebay.  Has saved my life a million times and for those tiny 
meter screws phenomenal.  Acts like a grabber with a universal.

Kindest regards Jim K9AXN

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!
