I needed to replace an old vinyl tool roll in the car and looked at this Ergodyne model as well as the similar offerings from Bucket Boss and Custom Leathercraft. The deal sealer for me was the quick release buckles on the Ergodyne. I just can't see going with straps you have to thread or tie or any that depend on elastic or friction to hold. The socket storage is also a winner: 3 equal pockets that close under a common Velcro cover. Some may prefer a dedicated strip or dedicated pockets, but Ergodyne is the most versatile, particularly if you want to store something other than sockets in there. Also I think the Bucket Boss color scheme of green/brown is fairly ugly, and I'm not a big fan of their ripstop material. The Ergodyne has a much nicer black/gray color and uses a tough ballistic nylon fabric.

It's a basic tool roll-up. The one thing I don't find so good are the three end pockets. They just don't secure that well when you put stuff in them, and I fear that stuff will fall out. Would have been better if the pocket flaps were made out of elastic material with velcro across the whole width, thus allowing them to stretch and hold the stuff in better when the thing is rolled up.

Another thing I'd change/add would perhaps be velcro loops or tied downs down the center line. This way, when you have longer tools, you could secure them better. This is a missing feature of ALL the tool roll-ups out there, not just this product.

Overall, I'm happy I got it, and will continue to use it. It's fine value for the price. However, the industrial sewing machine is coming out and I'm modifying it a bit to be the way I want it.

I got this tool roll to help me organize tools for my work. I travel a lot and wanted a better way to organize various hand tools besides just throwing them in a tool bag. The roll has a good variety of pocket sizes. The narrowest pocket is just large enough for a sharpie marker.

I have found that you need to be careful about which tools are placed near the end of the roll section. If the fit is to loose the tool might fall out when you pick the bag up by the handle. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of the materials and the construction and the buckles are very quick to use. Good deal for the price and it makes it very easy to see if any tools are missing when I pack up at the end of the job. Might be buying some more of these for use around the home.

This thing is just perfect.
As i am a professional R/C Helicopter Pilot,this little thing actually replaced my tool box ! And it was dirt cheap.

This little pouch has all the room you'll ever need for small tools. I use it for piano tuning tools. It has many small pouches for rubber mutes, stick mutes, tuning forks, etc.
And it all rolls up in a small easy to carry package!!!

This is nice, although the sizes they chose to make the pockets seems a little arbitrary, but that depends on what you are trying to put in it. I filled it with screwdrivers and some small pliers. Build quality is high, and it rolls up well. Nothing falls out for me. I need a bigger toolbox to put this in though, since it is a bit bulky.

I've got two of these, one holds mostly hammer drill bits, the other a variety of tools. Although I also carry tool bags ~ one for rock shaping tools, one for everything else ~ these really help keep things neat and easily accessible.

The locking buckles are great, and the quality of the material and construction is excellent.

I purchased this to organize all of the little computer tools I had laying around in my drawer. I was a little aprehensive about the size since most of the tools I have are pretty small, but this was a perfect fit. I used the bigger pockets for sets of tools, and the smaller pockets are perfect for individual items. If you want an alternative to whatever ratty old case you're using for PC repair, I'd highly recommend this one.

I didn't realize when I ordered this how many tools it would hold... A pleasant surprise! Well made, a great value, and a great way to keep tools together and organized. It should last most casual mechanics a lifetime.

The roll is made of quality materials and functions awsome. Exactly what I wanted. Very happy with it, use it all the time.
