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

havent figured out that you only need a small box for 90% of jobs,


You _can_ do 90% of what is to be done with what I carry on my
belt.


With my little toolbag, you can do 99%.


But just because one can skin and tan a deer with teeth alone, doesn't
mean one _enjoys_ doing it that way......

Point taken - and if you were going into the woods to catch a deer,
(or a bunny rabbit) you would at least have a skinning knife with you
and then take the skin back home to tan - the same with repairs, I
have a swiss army knife on my belt and I can do a huge number of
repairs with that. And if you are on a "boat" then you wont have to
drive 15 miles to get the right tool, would you. So, if you want to
lug a 20Kg toolbox up and down "stairs" then feel free to do so - dont
expect to do it any other way, because there isnt one.

Perhaps the OP could spend more time at the gym? ;-)

I, too, find that my little Gerber Tool solves well over 90% of my
'occasional' tool needs. While there's hardly a tool on it that I would use
for a particular job if I had the 'real' tool at hand; the utility of having
all those tools on my belt--all of the time--is liberating.

Oh, and BTW - on a "boat" you are unlikely to find that a new piece of
equipment needing an unusual tool has miraculously(sp) appeared
overnight - wish I had it that easy!.....
