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.

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

Better approach?


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

Best regards,

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

Quickly move into management. Pencils and cell phone are light.

Do what everyone else with more intelligence than a housebrick does -
clean out your toolbox and only cart around what you need. If you
havent figured out that you only need a small box for 90% of jobs,
then you havent been doing this all that long.....
