I was going through tool cases at a rate of about 1 every 4-6 months..until I went back to my musical instrument transport roots: I ordered an Anvil Tool case. I've had it for 2 years. Basically, it's indestructible..yes, it's ATA-approved. It's heavy - it holds everything I need for a service call, including all regulation tools and re-pinning supplies(think about what those tools might weigh...). The only drawback to it is its weight...long walks from a parking lot to the piano will give me the sense of 'I need to lighten this load', but I don't go anywhere without it. When I empty my truck for whatever function it will be used for, that tool case stays in the truck. There's enough variety of screwdrivers, nut-turning devices and odds and ends-type tools where it has come in handy outside of piano work. It is not light, but I would put it on a plane tomorrow without fear. -Phil Bondi(Fl)
