I had been using the tool bag from Duluth Trading company and loved it, but it was a little too tall to fit in the trunk of my new service vehicle, 1981 CB900C. I've put 4500 miles on it since Sept running service calls. I had it out yesterday and today in 30 degree weather for another 100 miles. Last time I checked, Duluth wasn't selling the tool bags. Maybe they just do it periodically. This little bag does everything I need it to do, and it is so light. You get a bigger bag and you just load it down with stuff you don't need 95% of the time.

What tools do you need the most when going into a customer's home? You probably need your tuning tools, and some basic regulating tools, plus some glue, Proteck, and paper work. Do you really need a $140 toolcase to carry those basic things? For years I have used a shoulder briefcase bag to carry my basic tools. I used to get one at Office Max, but I recently found just what I wanted at Walmart for about $30.00. It's a Stanley tool "Fat Max" tool bag. It's made of a very sturdy canvass, with pockets on the outside and inside, and is supported by a hard flat base. All my tuning and regulating tools are kept in tool roll from Schaff. I also have a towel, glue, flash light, Protek, a power driver with tips. All of the other tolls, supplies, etc. are kept in tool cases in my car.
