This is what I use also.  I write on the outside which tools are inside.
 'Cause I often forget what I have. <g>

Yep, divide up into mini-kits, and conquer faster.  I have a voicing kit, a
key bushing kit, hammer shank kit, pedal springs kit, etc.  All in those
small bags if they will fit.  In other bags if need be.

And I also have several ammo cases for stringing stuff, screw assortments,
lubricants and glues, etc.
