Small tool roll

[Robotstar5]

More to the point, how far do you expect to be going on the Bantam ?
One of the best things that you can do is to stick Goop in the tyres, then keep on riding it.
They don't need much beyond a plug spanner and a screwdriver.

It will only be pottering locally (my wrists are only good for about 10 miles these days) and taking to shows, I just want to carry a handful of tools like plug & plug spanner to get me back to the trailer.

For my bike tools (as in bicycle) I use a Bucket Boss, bought from Amazon UK, for storing and (if camping or going away for a few days) and transporting all the tools I could possibly need.

This tool roll is inexpensive, looks fairly rugged, and it appears to have a flap that folds over the tools to keep them from sliding out...by Wiha:

I'm looking for a nice lady with a sewing machine to lend me a hand

That's very sexist! Some of the best upholsterers etc are men.

I started to write it as ... her / his / their / them / it / etc (depending on chosen pronouns and your personal preference for the type of people who are lending you a hand ...) but it got a bit too long

Anyways, apologies for drifting back on-track but I've asked a mate in Brum if they* (*non-gender specific ) have any local suggestions.

I would have offered, but I have so much to do at the moment, it would take me a long time to schedule it.

Temu have lots of such offerings:

 

[Nomad]

Army surplus shops for sturdy quality?
Local motorcycle clothing places - ask if the place they use for alterations to leathers can knock you something up from an offcut of an old jacket?
The markets and stalls around the Bullring?
The trade suppliers ( Selco / Wickes / Screwfix / B&Q / Homebase...)

Sad to say, if you can buy something off Temu for less than a fiver how much time do you want to spend looking elsewhere. Depends if you want low price or good quality.

Try Reese at Compton's, Undercover covers. In Brum, if that helps. Google it.

I used to make something very similar for a lotus specialist where I used to work but to be honest cost of materials plus time taken to make it would probably make it unviable to make in this country commercially.

but they were on Temu who I don't have an account with (or trust)

They've seemed fine whenever I've used them, upto just. For what they'll cost on there, you've nowt really to lose, trying one or two.

I might have known, Mrs Robo (professional shopper) has a Temu account so we found one and she ordered it, £8 including delivery from China!

That's what pockets are for . Wrapped in a bit of rag and held tight with an elastic band cut from an old inner tube.

Funny you should say that .I once used a pocket cut from an old Belstaff jacket as a tool bag. Non of this flash purpose made stuff here.

 

[selectedgrub]

Correct me if I'm wrong but what use are new tool rolls filled with metric tools?

Obviously.
