Park Tool Case BX-2

I live in a condo and when I work on my bike I have to drag all my tools down to the parking garage. So to make my life easier, I purchased the Feedback Pro-Elite work stand and now my new Park Tool Case BX-2.

It just arrived today so I don't know how it will work out for me but my initial reaction is that this has some really nice features for a tool case. It seems well built, the dividing sections are well thought out, where one tool palette hangs in front and the other hangs forward so you can access both sides.

The only thing that doesn't really work are the Park T handle hex wrenches have no real place to go. I can understand that most traveling mechanics wouldn't use the T handles but more portable hex wrenches but I already own them and really like them. I guess it just means I should purchase the Silca hex wrenches that I saw at NAHBS.

Total weight with the tools is 32 pounds. So far I am not disappointed.

For the T-Handles you could fit some blocks of wood or plastic into those pockets and just drill some proper sized vertical holes in each block for each of the wrench shafts so they'll have a snug fit.

Some pieces of heavy or triple-wall corrugated cardboard or the corrugated plastic material used to make "for sale" signs might work as well.
