<DIV>I have my two! My student hammer for emergencies and my Hale extension lever, and thanks to Joe's suggestion, several tip/head combinations as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do you all keep most of your tool kits in your car, or do you carry them in at night, and just leave an emergency kit in the car? Just wondering.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I must be the odd one here.<G> (of course, I am.) I carry two Tuning Levers in my Tuning Kit.One, is a standard extension Hale tuning Lever, that I use for most jobs. With that I have several tip/head combinations. Also a light weight Ford Extension Lever, fitted with a Thin Wall Tip. I have Two in my Gorilla Kit. One is the Hale Speed Hammer for those REALLY Tight tuning pin beasts. The other is a Shortie for getting into really "tight" tuning situations, or just giving my clients a "giggle".<G> And I have a special kit, which I call my Antiques Kit, which has Seven different Tuning Levers/Hammers, all of which are special, authentic Antique Hammers with all kinds of weird tips/heads configurations. Lastly, I have my "converted" "Student Hammer", that is in my Stringing Kit. It is light and has many different one piece head/tip combinations. Oh, I forgot....I have a tool bag under the seat with a bare
minimum for when I forget my Tuning Kit. Or I'm at a concert and the piano needs touching up and THE tuner is no where to be found. :-(</FONT></DIV>
