    Anyone have this bag, or would know if a 17" Fujan would fit diagonally and still zip?

    Using the Pythagorean theorem with dimensions of 10" horizontal and 14" vertical is just above 17". Should work OK, but thought someone here might have it and know.

    I am not familiar with this tool bag, but here is a tip:
    Sometimes I take a "mini-kit" for tuning which is too small for my tuning hammer. I simply unscrew the round wooden hand knob at the end, this shortens the tool considerably.

    Yes, I thought of that also later. :-) The longer Fujan has a straight handle instead of a ball end. It's easy enough to remove that if it doesn't fit.

    The device should be more complex, with different functions. This is a tool or digital device (like a gadget), but it should have many useful options for different purposes. What useful Smart Devices have you bought on 4Prototypes.com? Share your experience. How does it work, were you satisfied with your purchase? Thank you all in advance for your feedback. I want to make a gift but have not yet decided what to buy.

    Just getting back to this thread.
    I can't quite imagine working with a 17" lever myself. That is quite the rocket launcher.
    There are easy techniques for tuning tight pins with regular length levers without having to resort to such long extensions, which come with their own problems.

    Ha Ha Jurgen  ... I like that term rocket launcher. 

         Do you know those vertical pianos with lid hinges on the left side of the lid with long wire pins ? you know the ones that hit the ceiling ?

       I call them "sidewinders". Believe it or not Lee Valley Tools has a pliers called sidewinder pliers. Of course I had to buy them.

    Sorry for the late response. I kept forgetting to send a reply.
    I have shoulder problems, and got the longer lever because of the increased leverage. Before using this 17" lever, I would never have thought that long a lever would be needed. But I really like it. I feel like I have more control now than ever before.

    Regarding my original question about fitting it into the tool bag, it works fine to unscrew the handle and have it at a slight diagonal. The tool bag zips up just fine that way.
