Think about what you need in a tool case. What tools do you need the most when going into a customer's home? You probably need your tuning tools, and some basic regulating tools, plus some glue, Proteck, and paper work. Do you really need a $140 toolcase to carry those basic things?

For years I have used a shoulder briefcase bag to carry my basic tools. I used to get one at Office Max, but I recently found just what I wanted at Walmart for about $30.00. It's a Stanley tool "Fat Max" tool bag. It's made of a very sturdy canvass, with pockets on the outside and inside, and is supported by a hard flat base. All my tuning and regulating tools are kept in tool roll from Schaff.  I also have a towel, glue, flash light, Protek, a power driver with tips.

All of the other tolls, supplies, etc. are kept in tool cases in my car.

I've been away from this list for a few months, so please forgive me if this topic has been discussed ad nauseum.

I've decided to invest in a new tool case, and I've been looking at the ones in the Schaff catalog (pages 88-89).  The "Ultimate Genck Case" looks great ($270), and the Cordura Nylon Case ($125) also looks like a good one. Can the Genck case really be $145 better?  Any other brands to consider?

Thanks,
