I sent my Jailhouse back too and got the bighouse instead, long things, like
my largest screwdrivers upright in it, on the backside while my tuning
hammer can lie flat on the front side. I understand your point about the
Duluth bag and rembering where things are however it's a matter of getting
used to it as proved by your statement. <snip> yes lots of small tools are
laying atop one another in the Genck, but I know where they are.
I believe had you given yourself more than a week you would have arrived at
the same comfort level with the Duluth bag. It's all a matter of comfort and
preference and we're all going to have our favorites, as the French
say Vive la Difference!

Mike
