[pianotech] tool cases

[William Monroe]

Thanks David, David, David and all the others not named David,

Yeah, I've looked at all these and other suppliers that have similar
models.  It's really this exact case I'm after, with the tool pallets,
center compartment, and the vertical orientation.  WITH WHEELS!!

Lighten up??  Nope, not a chance.  I'm a lazy son of gun at heart, and I
hate making a trip to the car for stuff.  I actually bought a smaller
"essentials only" case for tuning and absolute basics.  Hated it.  I really
don't like going back to the car.  And I find myself tempted too often to
not do something that needs doing because it slows me down to go to the
car.  I don't like that.  I rarely don't do the thing, but I am less happy
about it.  I want to be happy.  This larger kind of case weighs a lot with
tools, thus my request that I'm looking for exactly this style case WITH
WHEELS.  Weight matters little when it's rolling.  I'm actually still using
the lighter case, and if I can't find a wheeled version of what I'm looking
for, I'll probably stick with it.  My shoulders and back aren't bugging me
now (I'm not yet 40), but I really don't want to get to the point that I
have to change kits because they start to hurt.  Wheels, wheels, wheels (and
more tools).  ;-]

If anyone ever finds this Jensen case or one identical to it with wheels,
Please let me know!
