I'll meet you there = I'm sure. =20 As for tool cases, I finally found one that works great. I don't have a = verituner at this point, so i'm Ok on space, but who k nows what the = future holds. I use a business case I purchased at Office Depot. It's = not cheap, but has all kinds of zipper pockets and at lease three good = sized compartments. I'm thrilled with it because it also has wheels so = I can pull up a handle and pull it along. I can just push down the = handle put it the car and it's ready. I even have room for my student = hammer just in case it might come in handy for something. I could even = put my lunch in there if I needed.=20 Marshall ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Tvak@aol.com=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2006 1:35 PM Subject: Tool Case from Menards/Verituner List There was some discussion lately about carrying cases for Verituners, = and some discussion about tool cases from Menards. I now meld those two = discussions into one! This week I bought an aluminum tool case from Menards for $19.97. It = comes with a tool palette in the lid and a foam rubber insert. This = foam rubber insert is the coolest thing I've ever seen, especially for = $19.97. It completely fills the case, but has been scored or = perforated, with tiny squares that can be removed. I tore away half of it, so that now half the case was filled with foam = rubber, then removed the interior of the foam rubber so that the opening = perfectly conforms to my Verituner. This makes the Verituner cushioned = by the foam rubber on four sides, and even the bottom of the case is = soft rubber on the inside. So I put it in face down, and it is = completely protected. I never had a case that would carry the VT and my tuning tools, but = now I have one for $19.97. It also comes with little divider walls, so = the other side now has compartments for my tuning hammers, mutes, and = tools that I use on a regular basis. I did have to go out to the car yesterday to get a tool I used to = carry in my old tuning kit (the VT takes up too much room for me to = carry everything I used to), but carrying one case for the VT and my = tuning tools feels like a luxury! And the smart aluminum styling says = "Professional", so I looks good, too! One Happy Camper,=20 Tom Sivak Chicago P.S. Hope this wasn't already covered in the previous discussion...I didn't = read the entire thread... ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
