Great tool kit, I'm thinking of using yours as inspiration for the one I'm putting together.

Can I ask you what the dimensions of the tool roll is when rolled up? You mention it was 9 pounds but I'd like to figure out how big that particular roll is before picking one up.

Thanks!

Right now it is six inches across and 13 inches long. But if used something soft for the tins you might be able to trim it down. Without the pump you lose about 3/4 of an inch.
