sack/briefcase with a funky corporate logo, in a gawdawful color that
someone had given me at a work seminar...an old daypack would work
just as well. Also, a cheapo orange hunting vest is a good way of
avoiding becoming road pizza.
I also included an old pair of tennis shoes, since who knows what
I'll be wearing or how far I'll have to walk the next time things go

Great ideas, Chris. I just put together a tool kit to stay in my car and I
used an old tool box that I had. It is just too big for a Midget's trunk
with the spare in place. I'll look for a soft bag.
In my main tool box I have two sets of combination wrenches, metric and SAE.
They are loose, because they come in those new plastic racks that don't fit
in my toolbox. I had an old set at one time that came in a heavy plastic bag
with a snap closure. Does anybody know of a source for heavy plastic bags
for tool sets? Or do you have any other ideas for keeping the sizes
separated? Rubber bands don't work very well! How about a cloth tool roll
up with various pockets? Sources?
