[Elecraft] Elecraft's HexKey

[Ken Kopp]

I in no way want to detract from the folks at Elecraft and their 
great products, but the HexKey is a Bencher "Hex Paddle" with 
an Elecraft logo glued onto the base. (My logo came off  and 
needed reattaching.)  Interestingly, Elecraft sells it for less than 
Bencher's listed price.

I'm a long-time CW op (54 years) and agree it's about the best 
I've ever used, too.  Attaching a house logo and adding a S/N 
is another example of Elecraft's marketing savvy.  Mine's  S/N 290, 
FWIW.  (:-)) 

No, there's no way to buy a chrome version, from either Elecraft 
or Bencher, even at a "premium" price.
