I can't speak to the KAT500 kit but for other Elecraft kits I have found
that magnetized screwdrivers and/or nut drivers really help you breeze
through the assembly.

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.
