Multiple tool kits

[Tom Servinsky]

One little clever tool bag that I'm using lives in my larger tool bag. It's 
one of these insulated lunch boxes which kids use for school. It's soft yet 
very protective, and insulated. My Accutuner lives in that, as well as my 
mutes, strip mutes, voicing tools, and my most need regulating tools.  The 
insulation in the lunch box helps keep the Accutuner cool on hot days and 
warm on the cool days, plus it prevents my Accutuner from get dinged up.
I either take that whole bag (if I'm going to a new customer which could 
require just about anything and everything), or I simply take out the 
converted lunch box which has all of my essentials. Since a majority of my 
work is repeat business, I get the benefit of not having to  carry the 
entire load.
The nice thing about this configuration is that it doesn't take up any more 
cargo space in car.
