Review/ introduction to: Manufactum - Fine & Sons - Leather Tool Roll

[six-point socket]

Hi all,

Here's something really nice, a handmade leather tool roll. Originally it's made/designed to hold a selection of woodworking chisels, screwdrivers and stuff the like. I keep my metric Snap-On combination ratcheting box end wrenches in it.

It's very well made, nice sturdy leather with a great feel to it - perfect for organizing a set of hand tools. In the beginning I wanted this to be my go to tool roll (which is now my Carhartt) but the compartments are to small for pliers, a hammer and stuff like that - so I decided to put my wrenches in instead. (Since I do not, or only very very rarely, work on a car dirt/oil/grease isn't much of a concern to me as it also wouldn't be to a woodworker)

Kind regards,

Yes - very nice indeed.  I have made a few tool rolls over the years.  What is in the plastic bag in the far right pocket?

Hi Chris,

in that plastic bag are a couple of Snap-On "short" and "midget" wrenches in very small sizes: 4mm, 5mm, 5,5mm and 6mm.

Sadly I'm not handy enough for leatherwork (tried to make a knife sheath years ago... disaster). It's cool that you can make your own tool rolls!! Got any pictures at hand to show? Would love to see them

Oh, and by the way - I visited your Blog a few days ago - very nice work! I especially dig the "push to open"-cabinet and your screwdrivers/bit holder

Kind regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

I haven't made a tool roll out of leather yet, but I have done some in thinner materials, including denim (jeans).  I don't know if I have any pictures of them... I'll have a look.

Thanks for checking out my work. Push To Open is one of my favourites!
