ET onboard a ship. Have decided after time to have own tools. Got
them packed into one of those larger wheel-around, pull-the-handle-out
check-in hard-shell Samsonites. Ends up being a bit heavy, cause of
tool junkie genetic coding.


What do you need that many tools for anyway? Kind of like the golfer who
takes a bag full of golf clubs to play a par 3 course. Take only what
you need in a smaller case, and leave the rest in your workshop.
Seriously, I have worked in industrial plants where I had a over a hundred
pounds of tools in the shop, but usually carried a collection of tools that
would allow me to do 90 percent of all jobs I had to do. A lot of the jobs
I would just grab a pair of longnose pliers, a couple of screwdrivers, and
my meter.
