Adventure Tool Co - Shop Roll

[JMG73072]

Others have posted about these before and I just wanted to say this might be the favorite thing I have for tool organization. I got the Cordura model. Call Paul & Amy and get one!

Looks handy. Would you mind posting a picture of it folded up and/or give us a rough idea of the dimensions folded? Thanks.

Rolled up!

Mine arrived this morning! My craftsman injection molded truck box has been 20 years great, frankly it was time for an upgrade

Fit and finish is bomber. Stoked to load it up.

If anyone asks them about a Group Buy I am in for pouches and a Delorme atlas cover! :thumb: :biggrin1:

I also got the large duffel, and 2 of their wool blankets and the quality is top notch! Now I want some tarps and the tow strap throw bag. Good gear isn't cheap but that's why it's good gear and ATC has some quality gear available.

I saw this supplier in a new magazine I picked up the other day called "Wheels Afield". For those who read the shooters magazine Recoil, it is the same quality and format.

I had a roll up tool system back in high school, 1975, that was made out of plastic, used it for years.

I am planning to,buy one of these. Looks like it is well made, has a Filson look to it. I have been thinking of this type of system for a gun roll up range bag or for a gun cleaning system. As you can tell shooting is my other hobby.

Hey John I see you are in Norman. I was at a gas processing school there in the mid 1980s, great time there. If I recall y'all had a real nice zoo.

Oooh that's slick! Perfect for a truck bag!

I got one a few weeks ago along with a tarp and a couple of their small bags. I highly recommend them too. I've gotten two weekends of non stop off-roading in with everything. I can't recommend their gear enough and will be buying more.

Very nice!

Is there a thread around somewhere with a 5th gen tool kit build? Since I just got my 4R I haven't wrenched on it enough to know what the most common used sizes are.

I know on the Wrangler forum I frequent there is a dedicated thread for a build your own tool kit with all the commonly used sizes and tools for wranglers.

Funny, I just purchased one of these today after seeing [MENTION=809]fattire[/MENTION]s last weekend.

There is a start of a tool list here http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/94578-okkis-build-thread-12.html#post1753124

Might be a better one somewhere else....

Lots of stuff missing though. Some things simply won't fit in there. Like the 35mm socket required for the CV axle. And much will depend on your particular setup. 10,12,13,14,17,19mm seem to be the most common sizes needed. But some stuff like (CV axle/Inner tie rod) require some pretty large tools). I also plan to carry along a spare CV axle plus an inner and outer tie rod. Some duct tape and ratchet straps can also be used for make it out type repairs.

I was just emailing to them about a Group Buy, still waiting to hear back.

Most of my general stuff fits fine, sockets/wrenches/crescent/crap my pryalign and ball peen are in there but too tall, stick out the end. IMO If your planning on doing anything serious you'll need more space (ie another box). I dig it though, always wanted a roll. Got a medium tarp too.

 

[fattire]

For the big and misc stuff like the 35mm socket, tie rod tool, duct tape and other stuff you might look at getting one of their pouches. The large one would probably hold all of that. [MENTION=106176]wfo9[/MENTION] - let me know if you want to see the pouches in person.

 

[wfo9]

I'll probably just carry the big stuff (besides my torque wrench) in a plastic tool box...

The pouch is perfect for all the smaller tools. Trying to find a small tool in a box is a PITA. The tool roll seems to lay it all out nicely. You can never have too many tools ;-)

Thanks for posting this site. That is some nice gear. I will see if we get a group buy going if not I'll be jumping in on some of their stuff on my own.

 

[gm350reratliff]

Those look nice! I've been thinking of getting something like this since my Home Derpo tool bag is starting to tear. I probably carry more tools than I'll ever need anyway.

Has anyone been successful in a getting a group buy together?

 

[jrandom]

The last pouches I picked up they had sent me a coupon code that gave me a 20% discount.

I have spoken to them about group buys, this was their response... I myself don't feel comfortable working a group buy this way.

Morning!

Thanks for your email. We do indeed do group buys. Rather than giving out a code, we use another method that has been very successful with other groups. One member of the group takes orders from the other group members, collects the cost from them, and then submits one order to us, along with payment. The percentage discount depends on the total value of the aggregate order. We would love to work with you to accomplish this.

Hope you're having an excellent day-

Paul and Amy

These ATC tool rolls are beautiful and really well built. But be forewarned: If you buy the waxed canvas (as opposed to cordura) be prepared for it to stink to high heaven for a long, long time.

They use old-school paraffin wax for their canvas, which is a standard petroleum by product (as opposed to soy or other non-petroleum waxes that many canvas products use). So it will off-gas for a while. I had to put mine out on the back porch for over a week, and it still (a month in) smells up a whole room.

I actually think it smells awesome, but my wife disagrees -- so be prepared for that issue, or go with the cordura.
