The Objective

Over the past six months, I've had conversations with a variety of mobile mechanics and off-road enthusiasts who all shared the same problem: they needed a way to transport the bulk of their essential hand tools in a way that was organized, compartmentalized, and portable. The tool rolls they were using were often cheaply made, too small, and didn't hold up to regular use. Having worked on my own vehicles and off-road machines my whole life, I knew exactly what they meant and made it my mission to solve that. From there, I put my sewing and design skills to work.

I set out to design and build the best mobile tool roll I could—one that would last 10+ years, hold the essentials I rely on, and be something I'd genuinely enjoy using. I wanted it to carry not only tools, but also other gear like tow straps, tape, gloves, zip ties, flashlights, spark plugs, or fuel line.

Dimensions

The size and layout came together naturally once I worked out the four main pouch dimensions. The roll measures 18" x 28.5" overall which is significantly bigger than similar rolls on the market. It has three 3" x 3" x 16.5" pockets, one 4" x 3" x 16.5" pocket, a 9" x 16.5" flat pocket, and seven small flat pockets for your most-used tools so you don’t have to go digging for them.

Conclusion

In summary, this roll isn’t meant to replace your full toolbox, but it will let you travel with the essentials needed to keep your machinery, equipment, or off-road rig running. It could be loaded up with your core popular tools or be reconfigured with different tools, depending on the job for that day.
