It's a long winter and I'm so bored I'm reorganizing the tools I carry on my motorcycles.

One thing that would make my life even more peachy keen would be a way to carry sockets (mostly 1/4" drive) and screwdriver bits in my tool roll in a somewhat organized way so they don't spill all over the place when I open my tool roll, yet flexible enough I can still roll it up.

What I need is a flexible socket rail and some sort of flexible bit holder.

So far all I can find is this super-sketchy website for "Off Road Trail Tools" selling a flexible urethane socket holder:

Outdated everything, stuff missing, no SSL... no thanks, I'm not sticking my Visa card in there. But that's exactly what I want.

I'm also looking for a flexible holder for screwdriver bits. Haven't found anything, so maybe the peanut gallery here has seen something.

Thanks!

I bought one of these, basically two halves, so two bit holders. so far they hold the bits securely and are flexible. Bits arent much, but it's inexpensive for a storage device.

I've got a couple of those knocking around from Harbor Freight, except in red.

However, that wouldn't fit in a tool roll. I need something that's more like a flexible string of beads, where each "bead" is a receptacle for a screwdriver bit.

What if you cut a piece out of an inner tube and poked some small holes in it to stick sockets/bits through?

Sounds like maybe a single row bit holder may work then? Same material from the looks of it.

I've removed the bit holder that comes with the Milwaukee/Bosch/ete.. bit sets like this one it'd be ridged, but flat. Would need a little xacto work on the ends.
