Simple and excellent

Rating:*****
Great and inexpensive accessory. Protects your screws and keeps the organized and tidy. I use the plastic caps for the screw ends (the caps store nicely in the mesh zip pocket of the Screw-Ups when not on the screws). It takes another minute or so to put the caps on, but the teeth are the most easily damaged part of the screw, so its good to protect them well. With the caps on, screws slide right into the Screw-Up, then you just roll it up and fasten the buckle. The bottoms of the sleeves are open, so water can drain from the screws.

Good

Rating:****
Stores screws with no damage to tips or threads. Single cinch strap works OK; 2 might be better. As I only use the thing at the base of a route, in the flat position, perhaps having the thing load from both ends would work better: more even roll-up. Add 2nd cinch strap and maybe a rubber friction bit and the top edge of the sleeves and you'd have a winner. 2nd color would help with organizing more than one ScrewUps' number of screws.

great for screws

Rating:****
great for protecting your screws and the stuff in your bag. kindof tough getting screws in because the screw points catch as you're putting it in. not that difficult though. [...] cheaper than the BD tool bag and protects each screw individually, too.
good buy

screw up - tie up and go

Rating:*****

great bag to have for your screws. Keeps the backback tidy and the screws from ripping other stuff in the back. Really handy to have - highly recommendable.

Simple, light

Rating:*****

Good way to store screws and keep them sharp. Light enough to carry to the base. I have yet to see a better option.

Needs to be bigger

Rating:****

A great way to keep your screws sharp and your down inside the jacket, but why does it only hold 6 screws?
