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...

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

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

Re: Wrench roll ups
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.DDewar53 wrote:I have a heavy duty olive drab canvas on that I got from sears.

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.

Re: Wrench roll ups
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...Modeler wrote:Don, I'd forgotten I have one of their green canvas ones in my work toolbox.

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

Re: Wrench roll ups
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
