Hello all Elecrafters,

Reference the green, (multi-purpose)  & alignment tool which comes with the 
K1 kit.

It works, but the tip is a bit flexible and I found it inconvenient to 
adjust the inductors "precisely" in the band pass filters.  I took a 
red,  (round), plastic commercial tool and trimmed about one quarter of the 
small plastic screwdriver  tip on each side, leaving a tip which just fits 
the slot in the slug.  This allowed me to "fine tune" the slugs a bit 
better.  Still, I would like to purchase a commercial tool.   I would like 
one which is a bit more rugged than my homebrewed unit.

Does anyone have a source and part number for this critter?

73,
