tool pouch

Clive George said:

I'm looking for a little pouch to hold my tools in. Something reasonably
tough (cordura would seem suitable), otherwise the little pointy bits
will make a hole for the 2mm allen key very quickly. I'm not after
padding either - I want it to not take up extraneous space, and IME
spanners don't mind being hit much :-)

Any ideas?

cheers,
clive

I use an old (well not that old, but no longer required for purpose)
camera pouch. Does the job fine, but isn't long enough to hold spanners.

Eeh, bah gum, not like the good old days when we wrapped our tools in a rag
ripped from an old vest and fastened it under the saddle with either a piece
of string or a spare toe clip strap.

I've got a round food-pot, I think called something like "lock-n-seal",
bought from Waitrose.
The point of this is it just fits into a water-bottle cage, or at least
into the nylon ones which will take a litre mineral water bottle. (just
about) Holds fold-up allen key puncture kit, tube, chain tool etc. Of
course you then need two bottle cages as you still need your water
bottle.

Wot I posted back in May

"A handy tool roll can be made by cutting off 15"-18" from the leg of an
old pair of trousers. Turn it inside-out and either staple (men) or sew
(ladies) the cut end shut.

Turn it inside out and there you have a useful roll for carrying your
tools on longer rides."

Simple

So what do I do with my sewing machine?

Embroider a pretty flower pattern on the outside?

Seriously, a quality multitool is the solution to keeping the tools you
need on the move neatly together. I also have a very nice tool-roll of
workshop-quality allen keys, spanners, screwdrivers etc that's branded
Jagwire that I picked up in a bike shop sale last year, but it doesn't
seem to be made any more.

Unfortunately that doesn't include things like a BB eccentric tool (actually
a couple of washers and a nut :-) ) or crank puller (have used in anger more
than once mid-ride). (no T25 either, but I don't carry one either).

Which means I'm still left with a (admittedly more discrete) pile of metal
bits I want to keep together, and experience shows a placcy bag just doesn't
work for long enough.

I think it looks like I'm going to have to recover my sewing machine...

cheers,

That's probably a bit too far removed from reupholstering car seats and
patching combat trousers, but I'll give it a go if I find the time. :-)

Sorry got my link wrong. I did not mean to send you to a multitool but

A little washbag works for me, I think I picked it mine up from the
posh end of a plane as I disembarked from the cheap seats but you can
get similar ones from travel shops.

Go to the pound shops where you can probably find something suitable,
generally with some bath toiletries in. Somewhat cheaper than the travel
shops.
