About Tool Rolls

• Carpenters and joiners - storing chisels, marking tools and precision instruments
• Electricians - organising screwdrivers, pliers, cable strippers and testing equipment

Choosing The Right Tool Rolls

When selecting a tool roll from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these key factors to ensure it meets your requirements:

Pocket Configuration: Count your tools and choose a roll with adequate pockets. Options range from 8-pocket designs for basic chisel sets to 15+ pocket rolls for comprehensive tool collections. Consider pocket sizes relative to your specific tools.

Material Construction: Leather rolls offer premium durability and professional appearance, ideal for fine woodworking tools. Canvas and synthetic materials provide excellent weather resistance and are often more cost-effective for general purpose use. Heavy-duty fabrics withstand rigorous site conditions.

Closure and Carrying: Look for secure tie straps or buckle systems that keep tools firmly in place. Integrated handles or shoulder straps enhance portability, particularly useful for mobile tradespeople moving between job sites.

Specialised vs General Purpose: Purpose-designed rolls for chisels, drill bits or pliers often feature optimised pocket dimensions and protection. General-purpose rolls offer flexibility for mixed tool collections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tool rolls protect tools from rust and corrosion?

Whilst tool rolls provide physical protection from knocks and scratches, they're not moisture-proof. For optimal rust prevention, ensure tools are clean and dry before storage, and consider using VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) strips in your roll if working in damp conditions.

Are leather tool rolls worth the extra cost?

Leather tool rolls from brands like Faithfull offer superior durability, excellent protection for premium tools, and develop a professional patina over time. They're particularly worthwhile for woodworking chisels and precision instruments where tool edge protection is paramount.

How many tools can a typical tool roll hold?

Capacity varies considerably depending on the model. MyToolShed stocks rolls ranging from compact 8-pocket designs suitable for basic chisel sets, up to 15+ pocket configurations that can accommodate comprehensive hand tool collections including screwdrivers, pliers, spanners and more.
