Tuning Hammers, How Many?

[Barbara Richmond]

I carry one, Hale extension (I use it slightly extended, too--I'm a weenie 
girl, you know), #2 tip, on the shortest 15 degree head.  I couldn't get the 
tip off or remove the head if I tried.  Well, I did try after reading about 
all the stuff everyone else carries.  ;-)   I also carry one of those 
extenders that fits in the tip when clearance is an issue.

I do have a cheesy tuning lever with a narrow wall tip installed on it which 
has come in handy 3 or 4 times in my career.  It resides in the box of 
"hardly ever used" tools (along with the other heads and tips I've never 
used--I've lived a protected life).  Sometimes I even remember to put that 
box in the car......

BTW, in an effort to lighten the load in my main tool box, I removed my 
center pin tools and supplies and put them in another tool case.  Naturally, 
at the next two appointments, I had to do some repinning.  The best part 
was, I went out to the car and brought in the wrong tool case.  Hmm, so much 
for re-organizing.  Of course, that incident gave me some other ideas for 
arranging my tools.  Pretty soon I won't know where anything is.  :-)
