What do you need to cart around daily, and how big is the campus?
If 99% of what you do is tuning and regulation touch up, just bring a small bag with your basic tools. If you do specific repairs regularly, bring those tools as well. If you're talking about carting around your entire non-bench collection of tools because your regular jobs are so varied, you might want to go for a cart of some kind.
If you only bring specific tools, and you happen to need a different one, is it possible to come back the next day, and today move on to the next piano? Or would it really hinder your schedule to not carry everything?
My philosophy regarding carting around tools has always been, you only get one body. Don't abuse it if you don't have to.

Subject: Tool bags or carts
Hey University Techs... what is your current tool bag or cart situation? I'm currently using a Veto Pro backpack, but it's rather heavy for everyday carrying.
I'm thinking a rolling bag that will fit most tools and supplies, but I wanted to get other ideas.
