I am about to order some from Mouser.  Here are notes I’ve made:

Tuning tools:
	• double ended flat on both ends.  
OK Industries AT-6241
Sold by Mouser as their part number 801-AT-6241  $1.83
(I can’t find this product in a catalog page on their online catalog.)

The Collins 51s-1 manual mentions two tools four alignment use:

	• double ended hex tool:  GC  type 9300, I think
	• Walsco 2543  GC 8282

The General Cement Kit 5040 has the 9300 tool in it.  This is the one with a hex end on both ends, one end is long and thin to reach through the top slug and adjust the bottom one in many IF cans.  The GC tool is made of Delrin.  I doubt you will find a stronger material.

You can see info about the different GC kits at:

It appears that Mouser does not sell the GC products, but only the Oak Industries tools.

I find the GC kit 5040 at:
https://octopart.com/5040-gc+electronics-4039163  $20

I would be glad to hear of other sources.
