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? |

Works great..... except when have to go up or down ladderwells ("stairs", to you land pukes) Better approach? 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, -Bruce |

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. jak |
