Part of my problem is that the kit weighs 14 lbs before I load in the tools! As I'm getting longer in the tooth, I may have to downsize. I do have several different cases in the car for the more infrequent repair procedures (but nothing as extensive as Isaac Sadigursky). I like keeping the glues and lubes separate from other tools and supplies in a small cooler (except one small white glue bottle goes in the main kit). Strings and stringing tools are in a tool box, repining and many of my regulating tools in a tackle box. Vacuum and cleaning implements are in a large tool box. A couple of two-sided fishing boxes carry small parts, another tool box is for a drill motor, drills and various repair tools, and a large plastic container stores Cory products for sale and caster cups. Filling the interstices between the cases are a piano-lifting crowbar (for installing the caster cups), a key-leveling straightedge, and whatever didn't fit in the above. A moving blanket covers all the cases and provides a bed for transporting actions. Always in search of a better tool case...
