I'd say why carry around tools you rarely use?  I love having a small kit when I know its all I need.  I believe your at a University?  In a situation of moving from one room to the next more tools would be needed and you might have to walk quite a ways to the car.

I think this would be a good thread...although we may have already done it?...What is necessary for a tuning kit:  You have to go beyond just a hammer, mutes & a fork...but what? What are typical things that come up?  Not a rare repair...thats what the car is for.

I do agree that it is more professional to have exactly what you need at all times...but my arms veto this idea everytime.
