most facile way to move heavy toolcase up/down stairs?

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.

Works great..... except when have to go up or down ladderwells
("stairs", to you land pukes)

Better approach?

A complete set on each deck? :-)

Use the escalator? =oD

Maybe separate your tools into two groups and get two Samsonites. I have a
ton of tools at home but when I go to work on a friend's car, I can leave
most all my tools at home and bring application specific tools that are
light enough to carry in a backpack. I can't even imagine how long it'd
take me to get all my tools from my rollaway into my car, much less just
trying to lift my top chest without removing any tools from it first. =o)

Good luck,

Pukes? I guess you're applying that term 'affectionately' since we're the
ones you're asking for help. I can't add much to the answers already given,
unless there is something like a lift or elevator on board. Some of those
cases are modular, with a series of stacking boxes. Perhaps, like others
have suggested, you could divide your stash into several piles, and only
move the ones you actually expect to need at a time.

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.

If you need all those tools for a job you probably don't know what are you
doing anyway!

Only go up when in the southern hemisphere and down in the northern?
