I carry my flying field tools in a small Cabela's OD fabric fishing tackle container. It has zippered pockets both inside and out with lots of room for screwdrivers, pliers, drills, wrenches, hemostats, scissors, batteries and even a small ball-peen hammer.

Cabela's has them in various sizes. The small one that I have was $10.

Indra:

Often times this forum gets caught up in minute detail that beginners will find incomprehensible. My occassional suggestions are aimed at them rather than the seasoned among us.

And, as my signature says, you always need a ball-peen hammer! lol!

This little bag is kept under my modeling table for easy access. When I go to the field I zip it closed and carry it by the included nylon straps. In the field, should I need to dig through my tools, I lay out a bath towel to contain them. In turn when it time to pick up the tools, the towel makes it easy to put them back in the bag.

You weren't flying this weekend then?
I had her in doors' leggings on under my jeans.
It did 'warm' up in the afternoon tho
And it got really warm when we hit The Sultan
for our mandatory post flight Guinness.

I made a small hand warmer once. An old small food can with several holes pushed near the bottom, and top. Uses small piece of homemade charcoal.

Dewar's' is bunker fuel,,bleeech!,, spit-tooey!!

Lord Calvert Canadian (3 yr). A tiny sip to keep the toes warm,,to much and it turns you into Chuck Yeager at the sticks!! (look-at-it-Go!!,,zoom!).

As you can tell, I am goofing a bit up above. But seriously, I would not and do not advocate drinking and flying at all. It will just make you spend money and heaven forbid you crash into someone. It is listed in the AMA saftey code/guidelines.
