Serious Case of Genckflop

[John Formsma]

Alan,

I've had one for several years.  A couple of the tools in the top
section fall out whenever it's opened.  I have gotten used to putting
them back.  It's not that big a deal anymore.

For the separate tool pallet thing, use a towel that wraps around it.
That will hold all the combination tools that get put there. I bought
my towel at Walmart.  It's black, and roughly the size of the case, so
it fits fairly well.

Once the loops get stretched, you can put more than one tool in them.
That helps.  Another thing I did was put hammer felt scraps in there
along with the tool to wedge it in place. Now, I have so much stuff in
there that things mostly stay in place.

You can put a bunch of tools in this case, so it's a good one.
However, I'm always looking for a way to carry less while still having
most of the stuff I might need.

I can send a photo if I get around to taking it. Let me know if you're
interested, and it will spur me on to it. <g>
