I have the Sears Craftsman ones.... They're nothing special. They have held up fairly well to being kept in my tool bag and dropped on the ground/floor/etc...

^^Sounds like the same red & black ones I have. They were pretty inexpensive and have held up really well.

yes, those are the ones.

I think the vinal backing on the outside is coming apart on mine. Doesn't effect how they hold wrenches though.

I have a heavy duty olive drab canvas on that I got from sears. It holds my open end set that goes from 1/4" to 1 1/8". I have the red and black one that somebody mentioned for my metric wrenches, but it has 2 rows of pockets and the wrenches always fall out of the top row. I wish I could find another one of those green deals.

This one looks pretty good, looks like it has 14 pockets...

Don, I'd forgotten I have one of their green canvas ones in my work toolbox. The pockets on those are super deep.

On the red/black ones fold the top 2" or so over the wrenches then roll it. I've never had a tool drop out doing it that way.

The problem isn't when it's rolled up. When you have it unrolled, and you're crawling around under the Heep, you sort of reach blindly, grope around, get a corner of it and drag it over to where you can reach it, you realize that all of the tools have fallen out of the top row...

I've had the same issue Don has... My solution was not to use the top row...

i have a cheapy one that is Taiwan made, wrenches aren't bad, even came in a nice bag so it looks good as you throw it at someone driving down the highway
if you need more precision take out one wrench at a time and throw just that one
