I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw this Toast Bird Feeder. Granted, I know nothing about birds. And some of you bird enthusiasts might tell me this totally doesn’t work, or might harm he birds. I just simply love the design/idea behind it.

How cool is this Rocking Sheep? It was handmade by Los Angeles based Max Tyrie who got the inspiration for it from Povl Kjer’s design. Max claims that each prototype and design revision has been fastidiously test ridden by his 18-month old daughter, Rosie. That made me chuckle.

Like knife rolls, tool rolls are a great way to transport a collection of implements in a compact and secure package. There seems to be a greater variety of tool rolls than knife rolls on the market, perhaps due to the broader categories of trades that need to carry the former. Here we’ll look at some of the styles available.

The Mopha Tool Roll (available at our own Hand-Eye Supply) seen up top is great if you have just a few tools to transport, like to make a few quick and specific types of repairs on your bike. Those with more expansive tool collections would probably gravitate towards larger rolls like these:

These two tool rolls look like they’ll do an excellent job of keeping their wares secure in transit, and the socket pockets on the green one are a nice touch, but neither well addresses the problem of how to store objects with similar handles and yet still make them visually distinct (so you can quickly grab the one you need). Those of us with legacy tool collections are not going to want to purchase new ones with color-coordinated handles. We could take the time to put differently-colored strips of electrical tape on the handles of different tools, but I want the object to suit my needs, not the other way around.

One way to visually expose the tools is to minimize the securing mechanism, as seen in this replica of a 1914 Brooks Motorcyle tool roll. However, given that it lacks sides, I’m not sure how confident I’d feel about the screwdriver and one-sided wrench on the left remaining securely in place during transit.
