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.
