[Elecraft] Elecraft's HexKey

I used a BY1 mobile for 5 years. It sat on the seat next to me, though 
occasionally a fast stop in traffic sent it into the firewall. No idea 
why I didn't think to tether it. Try that with a Hexkey! It's still in 
daily use in the shack and must be at least 30 years old now. Terrific 
key. Simple and rugged. When I tried to order replacement nylon pivots 
(they wore out), Bencher replaced them for free. Customer service 
Elecraft-style.
