tool bag

[pryan2]

David,

I think you have too many tools that you will probably not need on most
routine tuning/service  jobs, but this is a judgment call.  The items that I
would NOT include in this bag would be the glues and liquid/powder
lubricants.  I had a incident where the Elmers glue opened and stuck all my
tools, strip mutes etc.  together.  What a mess and expense to replace them.
I always carry glues and lubricants in a separate container.
