Don't know about your tool kit, but regulating tools brought these =
thoughts to mind:

1. I wish someone still made the regulating pliers that used to work so =
well on wooden capstans: Schaff p.49, top left. I tried to order one and =
was told they don't have them anymore.

2. I've thought it would be useful to have a long strip of magnetic =
plastic (like refrigerator magnets have) 1/8 inch thick (or whatever) =
and 1/2 in wide to place across the strings for setting let-off.

3. How about damper spoon benders with a seeing-eye dog built in? Not as =
silly as it sounds, it could be done with a fiber optic light and camera =
.... might be a trifle pricey, though! I'll see if my local brain =
surgeon has any spare equipment. Or as Igor said to Dr. Frankenstein, =
"Master, if you had half a brain you'd be finished with that by now."

P.S. I found your subject line somewhat ... odd: "regular tool tools." =
Now, "irregular tool tools" is an expression I can understand. {Smile =
when you say that.)

    Hi all,
    I am in the process of designing a new more compact regulation tool =
kit and would like some helpful ideas as what to include.=20
    So far my list includes:

    non-directional eye screw turner ( the one that looks like a 4 leaf =
clover inside)
    grand small spade capture tool (very thin) (female)
    grand large spade capture tool (female)
    damper screw capture tool (male)
    grand damper tool (very thin)
    back check removing tool
    improved Kimball rubber nut regulator (will be able to be adjusted =
for depth)
    improved flange screw driver blade=20
    capstan regulator (wood or brass holes)
    upright flange spacer 11/16" blade
    key spacer (offset)
    4" extension bit with  knurled shaft to use for light or fine use.


    All of the above will have a hex shaft that will fit a standard =
multi bit screwdriver handle.
    Phillips and slotted blades have not been included in the list as =
they are available at any hardware store as is a hammer shank drill bit.

    All of the above tools to have a small case

    If you think of a tool bit thar might merit inclusion please let me =
know
