I have my two!  My student hammer for emergencies and my Hale extension
lever, and thanks to Joe's suggestion, several tip/head combinations as
well.

Do you all keep most of your tool kits in your car, or do you carry them =
in
at night, and just leave an emergency kit in the car?  Just wondering.

Gorilla Kit. One is the Hale Speed Hammer for those REALLY Tight tuning =

beasts. The other is a Shortie for getting into really "tight" tuning
situations, or just giving my clients a "giggle".<G> And I have a =

kit, which I call my Antiques Kit, which has Seven different Tuning
Levers/Hammers, all of which are special, authentic Antique Hammers with =

kinds of weird tips/heads configurations. Lastly, I have my "converted"
"Student Hammer", that is in my Stringing Kit. It is light and has many
different one piece head/tip combinations. Oh, I forgot....I have a tool =
bag
under the seat with! a bare minimum for when I forget my Tuning Kit. Or =
I'm
at a concert and the piano needs touching up and THE tuner is no where =
to be
found. :-(

I guess that covers it.<G>
