[Elecraft] Prospective K3 Owner

Hi All,

I had to go find an old Stanley cross head screw driver, as the posidriver 
was not a good fit.  Having looked at the old Stanley driver #810 I can see 
that the cross sides are quite tapered as compared with the posidriver and 
this probably the reason for the better fit.  If anyone is "Camming Out" on 
the small screws on the K3 they have got the wrong driver or using far too 
much force.

I found out about too much force on small bolts when turning the hexagon off 
1/4" BSW bolts when I was an apprentice marine engine fitter, where large 
amounts of force are quite often required.
