Your water bottle tool bag designs?

[cyberknight]

I am considering moving my multi tools out of the pannier and into a water bottle to mount on the frame as the weight hangs to low in the bag.
This would be for commuting so i will have spare bottle cages .
I only have 750 ml high 5 bottles which are too big really so what are your designs ?

I have one that I got for Christmas from my wife - it's a dedicated tool bottle with a large screw on lid, similar to this sort of thing:

I like it, is bigger than a bag under the saddle and is less intrusive to my mind. Mine is black, with a very small logo, on a black bike in a place you expect to see a bottle. Only thing I find is that you have to be careful with packing it to avoid rattling - I roll my tools into a rag, which is useful to have in itself.

The downside is that it uses a water bottle cage, so for those longer rides in the summer, I will probably go back to a bag and two water bottles.

@User10571 has done some nifty stuff, involving sharp things, two bottles, glue, sticky backed plastic. Hopefully he'll be along in a minute to explain.

What a simple but brilliant idea... thanks!!

Whilst I think that is a very good idea, you can just use a spare bottle for the same thing. That way if you are out on a ride and need more water you can put all of your tools in your jersey and fill up.

If you get your tool bottle wet your tolls will rust next time they go in.

Specialized do a tool key with a wrap to protect all your tools which is rather good.
The red cap in the lid undoes to store patches.

I don't usually trawl CChat's pages - other than for the FNRTTC - So Finding Tim's post has involved fluke and unusuality....
