Recommend me a tool roll
Looking to get a tool roll to store my ever increasing collection of bike tools. I need something big enough to hold a chain whip, lockring spanner, tire levers, some adjustable wrenches, and a couple multi-tools, as well as some room to grow. I won't be carrying it around with me much, but something I could throw in my bag if I had to would be nice.

Have access to a sewing machine? I've made numerous tool rolls of various sizes from nylon pack cloth. That way you can make just what you need in size and capacity.

I have a bunch of Park roll-up tool kits of various kinds. If you go their site and find a kit who's roll seems suited to your needs, let me know which, and I'll work up a very reasonable quote for it without the tools.

Well step 1, go buy that sewing machine..
Or you can learn to hand sew , needle and thread.
not like it is a space suit you are making.
or just get a piece of canvas and lay the tools on it , fold it over , then roll it up.
