I had been using the tool bag from Duluth Trading company and loved it, but it was a little too tall to fit in the trunk of my new service vehicle, 1981 CB900C. I’ve put 4500 miles on it since Sept running service calls. I had it out yesterday and today in 30 degree weather for another 100 miles. Last time I checked, Duluth wasn’t selling the tool bags. Maybe they just do it periodically. This little bag does everything I need it to do, and it is so light. You get a bigger bag and you just load it down with stuff you don’t need 95% of the time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><img width=570 height=494 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CCD7AF.CBCF4970"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoAutoSig><b><span style='font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Calligraphy";color:navy'>Dean</span></b><b><span style='font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"CAC Leslie";color:navy'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoAutoSig><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:AGaramond;color:navy'>Dean W May (812) 235-5272 voice and text</span><span style='color:navy'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoAutoSig><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:AGaramond;color:navy'>PianoRebuilders.com (888) DEAN-MAY </span><span style='color:navy'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoAutoSig><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><ns0:City w:insAuthor="Dean May" w:insDate="2012-01-20T16:44:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Dean May" w:endInsDate="2012-01-20T16:44:00Z"><span style='font-family:AGaramond;color:navy'>Terre Haute</span><span class=msoIns><ins cite="mailto:Dean%20May" datetime="2012-01-20T16:44"></ns0:City></ins></span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:AGaramond;color:navy'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><ns0:State w:insAuthor="Dean May" w:insDate="2012-01-20T16:44:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Dean May" w:endInsDate="2012-01-20T16:44:00Z"><span style='font-family:AGaramond;color:navy'>IN</span><span class=msoIns><ins cite="mailto:Dean%20May" datetime="2012-01-20T16:44"></ns0:State></ins></span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:AGaramond;color:navy'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><ns0:PostalCode w:insAuthor="Dean May" w:insDate="2012-01-20T16:44:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Dean May" w:endInsDate="2012-01-20T16:44:00Z"><span style='font-family:AGaramond;color:navy'>47802 Give us a LIKE on Facebook! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/PianoRebuilderscom/137780082943148">Go to PianoRebuilders.com</a></span><span class=msoIns><ins cite="mailto:Dean%20May" datetime="2012-01-20T16:44"></ns0:PostalCode></ins></span></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org">pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</a> [<a href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org">mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b><a href="mailto:tnrwim@aol.com">tnrwim@aol.com</a><br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, January 20, 2012 1:10 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:tubist@swbell.net">tubist@swbell.net</a>; <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [pianotech] tool case</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Paul<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Think about what you need in a tool case.
