    I have got a set of metric open ender/ringies and a set of open ender/ratchet spanners in the same roll and they take up bugger all room and don't "rattle"

    I have a MSA tool roll , and must say its a great bit of gear. Holds 2 spanners in each size from 6mm -32mm , also plyers, vice grips, a select few screw drivers , allen keys, and a set of torx keys , plus some punches and small screw drivers in the pocket. I lay a couple of pry bars and a set of sockets and extensions on the end and roll them up into the centre. The thing is well made and nice fat Velcro straps to keep it closed/







    Couple of pics are upside down but you will get the idea of it.

    Cheers Ean

    Tool Rolls etc - tool storage when travelling?

    I've put some thought into this subject recently and have organised tools into three main rolls to allow better distribution around the vehicle.
    The Atlas 46 Yorktown is the best of them and the other two I already had.

    Atlas46 have other options but this one I think is really useful in the double-sided combination of the pockets for spanners and zipped bags for other tools.


    I've also bought a few of these small, cheap canvas bags in different colours on eBay for smaller things less frequently used such as ezy-outs and loose spare bolts/nuts.

    Yep direct from Atlas46. Shipping is pretty steep but I’m glad I got it.

    In my shed, I have a place for everything and everything in it's place, but I don't organise my tools at all for a trip. I bundle everything up into a canvas bag so they don't rattle. When I need to use something I tip them all out onto a small tarp and find what I want. About the only exception to this is that the wheel nut tool is kept with the jack and a small shifter lives in the glove box.

    Get rid of the locking nuts and replace them with standard wheel nuts and you can discard the wheel nut tool altogether

    I don't have locking nuts. I was talking about the socket tool for changing a wheel, I keep it handy so a flat tyre can be dealt with without unpacking anything else.
