[Elecraft] K3 Kit Wisdom

[WILLIS COOKE via Elecraft]

If you are going to use the power tips a lot as hand drivers, but the magnetic handle to hold them, not a regular nut driver.  The difference is that the nut driver has a hardened tip and a recess for the bolt, but probably not magnetic.  The handle has a longer 1/4 inch recess, the magnet and no recess for the bolt which you do not need.  You can use the nut driver in a pinch, but the handle is better and they come in different lengths so you can reach things, not so important for a K3, but very important for airplanes.

Good point regarding the plastic foam egg cartons. I never even thought 
about them, as all I ever see are the old style paper ones. Must be from 
living in a cave!
