Howdy folks. I was going to wait until I finished organizing my new roller box and post, but as I just spent an inordinate amount of time looking at rollups (a lot of that time here) I've got to chime in.
I figure I can fit 4 sets of wrenches in a drawer where 2 would fit with racks on top of each other. I also need to 'grab and go'.
The ATC rollups look fantastic! And I hope to upgrade to something like them sometime. But in the meantime I needed to roll my combo wrenches kinda right now! I kept checking ebay/CL for vintage but nothing came up fast enough.
I found Dickies 57007 small rollups for $8 at Sears or Amazon inc frt. (Sears'll do site to store on any amount no frt, Amazon is faster)

I bought one to check out and they're pretty nice for the money, but of course made in China so in my mind an intermediate step.
I managed to fit my SAE set in it fairly nicely, 1/4" though 7/8". It appears to be made from roughly the same material as their outerwear, heavier canvas. The handle is nice for my application but does add some bulk. It also allows me to clip them to the outside of the sling bag I use for most junkyard runs. I'm not in love with the string ties, I'd much rather have the belts/clips. The pocket layout is very basic, 8 top 8 bottom, flaps on both sides.
Long and short I've got a couple more coming, for metric, flares/shorties, and large wrenches. I'll use small different colored zip ties to ID them. There is also a larger one, 57006, for about $10 but doesn't fit were I want them.
If I didn't like the Dickies I was going to try these:
