Tools and tool roll?

.

.

I keep looking.  That one tool roll, with the multi-tools?  Looks... spiffy.  Would the wrenches and sockets truly work on SAE and metric?  Are they well made, would they last?  What about returns?  I'm telling you, those sound great.  Trust?  Look, if such a system exists?  Wouldn't other companies be making something like them?  Or renting the system to put in their own tools?

They are expensive.  But, if I was sure they would work for... actually I think they say for SAE, metric, torx(?), and rounded off nuts and bolts?  They would easily be worth the price.  And... what about replacements.  What if I lost an 8 mm, or a 9/16 socket or wrench?  Plus, they are lighter.  They really seem built for travel, biking really.  Though, too?  They aren't a complete set.  A fantastic starter set for everything from a bike to a car.  But no specialty tools.

I may give them a call though.  Get my various questions answered.  If they have a thirty day return policy?  If there are affordable replacement bits and parts?  And possibly some other things?  I might pull the chain, get the ball rolling.  If that doesn't work out, I have been looking for other things.

To be honest, I want a set of metric sockets... impact, deep and regular socket.  It would be nice to obtain both metric and SAE, but that just... I have a decent supply of regular SAE and metric, for the home.  Two sets, I think.  But they are for the home and Xterra.  I'm looking for a paired down grouping, just for the bike.  Wrenches as well, both open/closed and adjustable.  Actually the list is rather long, if of the smaller sizes.  Even a torque wrench for the bike.

As well, the roll.  I have looked at... a dozen, two?  Some were okay, some not so much.  Some were in the four hundred dollar range (just for the roll), some as little at $15?  I... don't think the extreme would do.  I was hoping to find something in the $45 range.  After looking at, probably, ten to twelve, I was thinking the price range was just too short.  Though I may have found one.  And, if it is flimsy and trash, I can send it right back.  But. from everything I am reading, it is looking pretty good.  Worth a shot.

The tools I have in the shopping cart are more specialty tools.  So they won't interfere with, or overlap, the purchase of the larger kit.  I'll call about that during the day.  And decide on it through the week, or month.  Buy it, or not, as I sort things.  Well, maybe some overlap.  But if the overlap works, I can make a tool roll just for the Xterra.  There is that.  I don't have tools for her, other than in a large collection... or two.

If I get the tool roll, like it, but decide to try the other complete tool roll, I'll break down my smaller complete kit, and part it for the lessor tool roll, just for the Xterra.  That's how that would work.  I think I have a 3/8" torque that would go better in there.  And an 1/2" for more around the house/shop.

On to bed?  Not quite.  But getting close.  Later.
