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

[Mike Gaspard]

I wonder how many of those the TSA owns, now?

I almost forgot mine on my belt at the airport once. Luckily I
remembered in time and was able to run back and stick it in my checked
baggage. I was almost sick at the thought of having to turn it over to
Security.

I would rather leave my wallet at home than my Gerber. It's saved my
bacon more times than I can remember. Best $40 I ever spent.

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?

Got room for a furniture-moving dolly(hand-truck?), the one with the
v-like belts that revolve on each step? s

There are hand trucks with electric motors on them that drive grips
that allow it to climb stairs. You just get the truck in position,
push the button and the electric motor (geared way down) takes the
load up or down the stairs.

Would that work for you?

Order a set of Type II antigravs. One pair should do it easily.

Yep, I am a tool junkie as well - but I only carry the bare minimum in
the van, paranoid about them being stolen, and commercial insurance is
just toooo much. Lets face it, he who dies with the most tools/test
equipment wins......(not sure what you win, I just know that you do).

BTW - whats the most obscure specialised tool you own - you know,
something that was acquired in a moment of madness and never got used
- (this specifically exludes power tools, they are in a special
"sacred objects" category)...and where can I get a micro lathe cheap
for turning up capacitor shafts....

Got an Anatomy lab dissection kit yesterday for a snip GBP7 USD10. It
contains a decent scalpel, various scissors, tweezers pokers, prodders,
jabbers, impalers scrunchers and whatchamacallits. All in surgical
stainless steel. I'm thinking twice about donating my body to medical
science now though ;-)

Also they had a diagnostic kit at a song (otoscope/opthalmoscope) handy
for close inspection. I didn't have a look as my hands were manky and I
wouldn't want anything like that prodding about me after it had been in
my hands. I'll maybe go in with clean hands on Monday.

Don't most boats have at least one deck winch?
