@ $91 .... is it the Gucci / Prada brand of the tool holders ? Look nice add some blink blink or fancy stickers, I might get one for 1/3 of that price.

The maker of these posts on here. Nice, but $91?????? Seriously??? I could have a local upholstery shop make one for $40 if I really wanted. But I don't, so I got the Trail Tools version which is not nearly as full of character for like $25.

Like others said, $91?!?! What? Tool rolls are one of the simplest designs to craft on a thread-injector. One size fits all usually don't accommodate your personal set up, but when you double-bar-tack your own design, it's gonna be customized, and that's priceless.

Canvas quality can be cheap. I don't have that tool roll, but I love good quality tools rolls. Worth every penny when working in the dirt. Easy to grab out of the truck. Every tool you need is available (if you set it up right), every tool has a place so you know if your missing something when it is time to clean up. Of you lay it out flat you can find your tools and parts so much easier. It is vastly superior to a pile of wrenches in the dirt.

snap on make some nice vinyl wrench rolls, they are a lot less than $91.

Those don't last in anything other then a tool box. They are great if you work in a shop. However, for the real world the only ones that hold up are the good quality heavy canvas.

(SNIP) a pile of wrenches in the dirt.

Agreed. Here's a wrench roll I fashioned from cow-hide nearly two decades ago. Still going strong and nothing falls out when jostled because of the "embossing" at the box-ends. It's pretty thick leather too.

Damn!! That's the best one i've ever seen. Fits right up to the open end of the wrench and the leather is thick as well!

Well played, sir!

Buy a Navy sea bag and make one yourself. That's pricey as hell. I loved the tool pouches we used in the navy, just bought all the materials to make it, now I just need to learn how to sew lol.
