Get it on wheels!

My wheeled suitcase is a wonderful tool carrier.

Subject: TOOL CASES

 

 As for a tool case, I'm using a breif case now, and that's not very
helpful.

 

I hate to think how much money I have thrown into tool cases over the years.
I think every time a new one came out I would grab it up thinking this had
to be the best.  I had a Genck case that was very nice but the pockets
ripped out and I now us it for my voicing stuff. Never was thrilled with it.
I bought another expensive case from Jensen it was really nice, had plenty
of room but to heavy. Finally, one day I discovered a laptop computer case
and bought it for about 40 bucks.  It is the best case I have had.  It is
light, it has an extra pocket on the outside that holds a 14 inch plastic
box for misc. items such as protec, etc.and I use a tool roll. It is also
the way I can tell which day it is. As the week goes on it gets heavier and
in a little disarray by Friday I might need a tow truck but I can't blame
the case for that and it still works great.

I like the zip lock idea.  As for a tool case, I'm using a breif case now,
and that's not very helpful.  I put some graham crackers in a zip lock bag
for a snack, and they were crumbs by the time I got home yesterday. :)  The
case is too cramped, and lowes doesn't have a decent tool case. 

 

I was tuning my friends piano a couple of weeks ago, and his cat decided kto
walk on the key bed while I was tuning and wanted to bother my open brief
case.  I played some  notes and made him move by pushing the keys up.:)

Good advice, Debbie!  

 

When Mitsubishi first came to Bloomington/Normal, IL, I had a large number
of Japanese customers.  I learned quickly that I was expected to stay for
refreshments and conversation (broken English and lots of smiling and
nodding).  Of course, everything was always good, though the strangest thing
I sampled was a coffee gelatin.

 

The time that really proved how fast I could tune was when the homeowner's
black lab parked himself under the piano bench.  He went to sleep and,
um.....broke wind.  How long can you hold your breath?   :-)   Actually, I
got up and talked to the owner, not saying anything about the <atmospheric
conditions>, but suggested the dog find another place to snooze.  She got
the dog to move--for a while.  Somehow he managed to find his way back to
me.

  Ziplock bags - never tune without them!
