All the wrench rolls I find are too short to fully cover the 1 1/4 and 22mm wrenches and the wrenches slide out. Does anyone make a decent one, preferably canvas , oiled/waxed canvas?

Or maybe I have a tarp maker make me one. Anyone have experience with doing that?

My wife stitched up two wrench rolls for me. One for the larger - one for the smaller wrenches. Made out of old Jeans material. Made in 1985 and still working great.

When I bought a set of Sunex angle wrenches up to 32mm (1-1/4") they came in a cloth-fabric tool roll. Perhaps the roll is available separately.
I have a number of home-made (custom?) tool rolls that were not that difficult to make (wife has good sewing machine). Grey one has failed at one corner (lousy QC?) Awning companies are a source of reasonably priced remnants. They undoubtedly could also sew them but may be unwilling or too expensive.

Check Dickies. One showed up in my facebook feed recently.

Sad, most are plastic, and not worth a crap. Certainly worth even less than that in the Canadian COLD.

Probably not something they want to spend a lot of money on, since many will just go in the garbage.

Old Post with no recent update.

I do not own a Tekton tool roll or pouch, but I have bought Tekton tools andtherefore get e-mails from time to time. Today (3/3/23) they announced updated tool sets including tool rolls that accept up to 32mm (1-1/4"). Roll-Up Wrench Storage Pouches | TEKTON | Free Shipping

Make your own (have your wife/girlfriend make it). A yard of canvas, 4-6 inch strip of softish leather as long as the roll (if you want longevity), and a sewing machine. I made a wrench roll for keeping on my boat, so it wouldn't ding the fiberglass like a metal toolbox or slide around like plastic. sew in some paracord or shoe laces to tie it when rolled up. Lay out the wrenches to figure the width, add a few inches for the pockets to accommodate the tools & trim the top to fold over & hold the wrenches in place when rolled up so they don't slide out the top. Once you have the dimensions, it just a matter of hemming & sewing the pockets to separate the wrenches. Custom roll. I sprayed the leather & canvas with WD40, but you could wax the outside as well if you want. Probably beeswax & mineral spirits or kerosene would work.

My two wrench rolls - post#3 - hold my smaller Snap-0n wrenches and my larger ProTo and Mac wrenches. You can tell the most used wrenches. It's the slots that have had the bottoms sewn shut more than once.

I bought a set of wrenches from 1 3/8 to 3" that came in a roll. Nearly need a dolly to move them around.

Somebody who can sew should be able to make one out of canvas. It's not rocket science.
