Hello Marshall, I don't know about this, but to me, if I was a thief or a thug, I would rather steal a portable computer than a bag of tools... What makes you think that you would be less at risk with a computer case?There are some cheap luggage with wheels and handle that you could get at any department stores that could be of help. The trick is to have smaller bags inside with tools dedicated to different jobs. This way, if you have to replace a center-pin for example, you just get your centper-pinning bag and if you have a different small bag with strings and tools for replacing strings you lose less time looking in the large bag. Just an opinion, Happy new year to you and your loved ones Marcel Carey From: pianotune05 at hotmail.com To: pianotech at ptg.org Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 21:14:14 -0500 Subject: [pianotech] tools I always try to keep the tools I have as organized as possible, but the trouble I have is that the inside of my tool box is black, well the outside is too. lol We were given these stupid stanley tool boxes that have the two little doors on top yellow, and the plastic insert inside. The tool box doesn't hold much. Someone e-mailed mentioning to bring the bare minimum but that leads to a question. If I only bring tuning tools and a few extras, does it make me look bad if I have to come back again to do a job i.e. replace a string? Taking public transit adds a new dinamic because one can only carry or roll so much stuff around, so knowing exactly what to bring is my toughest challenge. I find that I at times bring things I don't use real often, but could have used something I wish I brought along. If I tune in bad areas, I do use a bag that looks more like a computer case so that anyone would suspect I'm carrying tools.
