Tool rolls ?

[Keith Whittaker]

Hi everybody.
Just a quick query.
I've got a pouched weight belt with a couple of unused pouches and was thinking of using one of them to store a little tool kit in.
Nothing major, a small adjustable spanner, couple of Allen keys, couple of Jewellers screwdrivers etc.
Keeps it where I can find it, plus you can always be sure that you will only discover the need when you are as far away from your dive bag/car as its possible to be. i.e On the RIB or at the bottom of a long flight of steps.
However, I want to put it all in a little Tool Roll and can't seem to find such an item anywhere. I've been to Tool shops, Maplins, Halfords, Motorbike shops, car boot sales, everywhere and have drawn a complete blank.
Any ideas ?
Also, any recommendations for tools/bits that i should include?
Cheers

word of warning, after a dive or two you may find they're so badly corroded as to be useless. Even keeping things in a tool box on a hardboat is not enough protection aginst the corrosive effects of salt water so keeping them in a weight pouch may be asking for trouble.

Hi
If you go into a yacht chandlers, they have have stainless tool kits for keeping onboard. Prepare to sit down though when you see the prices.

There are some good small drybags available. I take one on all trips and contains spanners, pliers, spares, tissues, hoses etc all nice and dry.

Now, I enjoy my diving... obviously not as much as you, Ian

Ah yes, but for you going diving means getting away from 'her indoors' so the tissues might come in handy!

Whilst I can see where you are both coming from , you are mistaken. For many years I have endured blocked sinuses and most mornings I need to clear these. Hence the tissues.

I always leave my wife feeling satisfied with life, and we always enjoy reuniting after the absence.

A Good point, well made.
I was hoping that a wash, wipe and spray with WD40 would keep the rust at bay until i can save/ search the back of the sofa/ Commit a major crime/ send wife out on the streets etc etc and get enough dosh to afford the shiny marine tools. ?
Still need a tool roll though, even if i revert to Plan B and just keep it in my dive bag
