One little clever tool bag that I'm using lives in my larger tool bag. It's one of these insulated lunch boxes which kids use for school. It's soft yet very protective, and insulated. My Accutuner lives in that, as well as my mutes, strip mutes, voicing tools, and my most need regulating tools. The insulation in the lunch box helps keep the Accutuner cool on hot days and warm on the cool days, plus it prevents my Accutuner from get dinged up. I either take that whole bag (if I'm going to a new customer which could require just about anything and everything), or I simply take out the converted lunch box which has all of my essentials. Since a majority of my work is repeat business, I get the benefit of not having to carry the entire load. The nice thing about this configuration is that it doesn't take up any more cargo space in car.
