Hi Jim, Yes, a battery is more important than a tool bag...for a nice drive around Oakland! I remember well your story on your original tool bag. Great! Don't worry. I just got a repro grease gun (without hose) here in Italy that I will have replated Nickel. But the flexible hose with Zerk fitting, original or exact repro, is nearly impossible to find (waiting for Kilimanjaro answer if they supply Zerk fitting along with the hose itself). Same for the 3 plastic Phillips screwdrivers, difficult. Cheers, Jean-Paul
