Tool Roll...

[neds]

Right sick and tired of turning my toolbag inside out looking for the right screwdriver, I want to get it organised and the easiest would be a nice tool roll for purely screwdrivers and the odd plier. Should hold about 15 odd screwdrivers thats including the VDE stuff.

Anyone recommend a good un'? Seen some nice CK ones on the bay but not sure if their tool rolls are as good as their tools!

Cheers

This is not a tool roll but it does eliminate the need to dig around the bottom of a tool box getting bitten by all the sharp stuff lurking at the bottom. It ain't cheap either but you get what you pay for.

I haven't seen a good tool roll in answer to your original question.

Phwoar that is sexeh! Although I already have a decent tool bag, I suppose If I bought something like that it would eliminate the need for a tool roll. Not sure how much more tools it could hold though? I've seen something similar to what CK will look into that option.

Those types of bags are the must have accessory for any fashionable builder. I've noticed lots of contractors using them (well similar ones)

I tried a couple of tool rolls, but found that you had to be really disciplined in putting the tools back in, or otherwise you come to open it and there are no tools in them - you have thrown them all in the bag when you packed up quickly one day

But I still use one for various drill and screw/nut driver bits which I do try and put the bits back into.

It holds loads of tools, if you look through the website it gives the spec for each bag and how many pockets it has so it should give you a rough idea. I swapped from a stanley tool tote to the mid sized bag and got more in the bag than I ever got in the tote. You just have to watch the weight
You utilise all the cubic capacity of the bag which doesn't happen with a standard tool box.

I got one of these Veto bags recently when Rutlands were doing an offer on them. When the parcel arrived I had some misgivings: it's easy for manufacturers to print photos of their products filled neatly with tools, but then one finds that one's own tools won't go in properly and lots of pockets get left empty.

But it's brilliant, it really works, and provided I can keep disciplined about putting tools back in after I've used them I think it's going to work really well.

It's true that even the small version holds so many tools that it's a bit hefty when full. Perhaps a change to titanium tools would solve this problem ...

Well I ended up just buying the CK tool roll as it was cheap enough and its perfect. I can fit all my day to day tools in and rolls up to a nice size. I can keep all my other odd bits in the tool bag that I got. Now I can just roll out when doing a job and wont get frustrated when I cant find that screwdriver!

+1 for the veto bag, mines a couple of years old & beginning to show (minor) fraying, but gets some abuse and is the longest lasting toolbox/bag ever for me.

They're great because you can organise tools so you grab the right pozi/phillips/slot every time, plus you can see at-a-glance that all your tools are in place, less chance of leaving something on a job, big plus if you have decent kit like me, knipex pliers etc at £20 a hit.

one downside- no room for a little tote tray or any space for boxes of screws etc, bottom recess tends to get clogged up with drills screws plugs etc.
