[Elecraft] Elecraft Kit Assembly

[Joe K2UF]

I use mine all the time for 4-40 nuts.  It must be 50+ years old and it has
seen better days.  Getting a little loose and fuzzy on the end.  Tried
finding them on the internet machine.  I have used small stiff tubing for
various size nuts but not the same thing.

Good luck,

When assembling the KAT500 kit yesterday, I found it frustrating trying to
get the nuts started on the connector screws. Then I remembered assembling
Heathkits, like 50 years ago. Heathkit provided a little plastic tube thingy
for starting hex nuts. (I'm sure some of you other OF's remember them. They
were red.) I looked in the toolbox, and there were two of them! (They're
still red.) Given all the hex nuts in the KAT500 kit, if I hadn't already
had them, I'd have been glad to pay an extra 10 cents or so if one were
included with the kit.
