This gorgeous, burrito-like tool roll would make a great DIY project

A tool roll has got to be just about the simplest and most practical way to carry tools. And if its this roll from Mopha, it’s also the most stylish.

The roll is made from waxed canvas with leather trim, and unfurls to reveal ten variously-sized pockets. Slide in your biking essentials — even your spare tube — and roll. The pockets keep everything in place, and a supplied leather toe-strap performs double duty in cinching shut the roll and strapping it to the saddle rails.

You could also drop it into a bottle cage, or even just use it to keep things tidy inside panniers or a messenger bag. The roll costs just $42, from maker ehworks on Etsy.

Too much for you? Few things have DIY written on them as big as this one, and with a sewing machine and a little time, and a few scraps of fabric scratched up from the back of a closet, you’ll be in business. I’m going to make one today — with one modification: a couple of belt loops on the outside to stop this canvas burrito from slipping out when I’m riding.
