If its moving around, I might drill holes in a board that match the feet of
the key and set it down on into the holes. Bolt, glue, clamp the board down
to your table as you see fit.

Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hex Key

 

I have been relearning to send CW again. I am using a Bencher/Elecraft Hex

Key Serial # E067.

It is a typical bencher key with a weight of 3 lbs 2 ounces. I guess I am

heavy handed and have been slapping that thing around the desk like a red

headed step child. lol.

I went and looked for a heavy key and about fell off the chair to find that

the Bencher Hex is now selling for $325.

Does anyone know how many of the Bencher/Elecraft keys were made?

I did find a heavy key, I ordered the K8RA Big Dog P5 key at 7 lbs. I hope

it stays put.

 

Any suggestions about tips to help me send lighter and or the number of

Elecraft hex keys made I would appreciated it.

 

Thanks
