What size leather tool bag should I buy?

Pick by the longest tool you carry rather than by capacity. The 350mm bag suits a service kit of screwdrivers, pliers and a torch. The 450mm bag takes a claw hammer and a 300mm level without forcing them. The 600mm bag is the one for first fix or carpentry, where a saw and a long bar need to lie flat along the base.

Why choose leather over a nylon tool bag?

Leather resists abrasion far better on a working site, so the base does not wear through against concrete, scaffold boards or a van floor. It also holds its shape when half empty, which keeps tools findable. Nylon is lighter and cheaper, so it is the better choice for occasional DIY rather than daily trade use.

How do I look after a leather tool bag?

Keep it out of standing water and let it dry naturally if it does get soaked, away from a radiator, because forced heat makes leather crack. A wipe with a damp cloth clears site dust. A leather conditioner once or twice a year keeps the hide supple, and that alone adds years to the base seams.

Are these genuine Rolson tool bags?

Yes. Klevaro is a UK stockist of Rolson Tools and the product codes here are Rolson's own, including 68261 for the collapsible holdall and 68870 for the twin pocket tool belt. They carry Rolson's finish and warranty and are dispatched from our UK warehouse, not shipped in from an overseas marketplace seller.

Tool Bags & Belts

Q: What belt setup works best for a hammer?

A dedicated hammer holder on the belt rather than a loop on a pouch, because a loop lets the head swing. We stock a fixed nylon and leather holder and an oily split leather version. Pair either with the 75mm double pin leather belt, which is wide enough to carry the weight without folding over during the day.

Rolson Tool Bags and Tool Belts for UK Trades

Rolson leather contractors tool bags are the deepest block on this page, so it leads on them. Klevaro stocks the heavy duty leather contractors bag in three lengths, 350mm, 450mm and 600mm, which covers a first fix kit through to a full day's hand tools. Leather is the reason these outlast a nylon holdall on site: the base takes abrasion from concrete and scaffold boards without wearing through, and the shape holds when the bag is half empty. There is also a multi pocket top grain leather tool holder for anyone who wants pockets rather than one open cavity. Every bag is genuine Rolson stock held in our single UK warehouse.

What is in this collection

Around the leather bags sit the rest of the carry kit. A 450mm hard base tool bag and a 455mm tool bag cover the lighter, cheaper end. A collapsible tool holdall with a solid handle and multiple pockets folds flat when it is not in use. For belts there is the twin pocket Rolson tool belt, a double pin 75mm wide leather belt at 120cm long and a leather organiser pouch with combined pockets. Two hammer holders finish the range, a fixed nylon and leather holder and an oily split leather version. A 30-piece tool kit is included for anyone starting from nothing. If you need ratchet straps, bungee cords and poly rope for the van rather than the belt, those sit on our bungee cords and poly rope page. We also list electrical hand tools, workshop equipment and ready-made tool kits in their own sections.

Choosing a bag length and a belt setup

Buy the bag by the longest tool you carry, not by volume. A 350mm bag suits a service kit of drivers, pliers and a small level. A 450mm bag takes a standard claw hammer and a 300mm level comfortably. The 600mm bag is the one for a first fix or carpentry kit where a saw and a long bar need to lie flat. On belts, the twin pocket belt is the quick option, while the 75mm double pin leather belt with a separate organiser pouch and a hammer holder lets you build a rig around your own trade rather than accepting a fixed layout.
