Hex Bit Storage?

[Woodster]

A lot of my hex bits are in sets with their own containers. I have though accumulated quite a number of extra bits without boxes etc. what do you folks use to store your hex bits? I’m currently thinking one of these magnetic holders might be good but I’m open to other ideas to keep them neatly arranged.

Call me traditional, but the answer to this - and many similar questions - is an old tobacco tin!

You just don't get that in today's culture! Instead, have a "disposable" vape and then chuck it out the window as you're driving along, never mind the fact they have a lithium-ion battery in them which can rupture and cause a fire as well as all the horrendous chemicals in them that can leach into the ground.

I'm picking upwards of five each time I go for a walk up and down the road to collect the rubbish on a two-mile stretch in the countryside. It must be endemic in the large population centres, thankfully I've never come across those laughing gas cylinders that you find in towns and cities.

Rumour has it that you might find something infinitely more sinister than laughing gas if you pick up anything suspicious off the ground in Salisbury - Rob

But it is famous for its 123-metre spire!

You'd have to have had your Weetabix to pick that up :lol: :lol: - Rob

I also favour the tobacco tin approach for spare bits, but a magnet screwed inside a tool box lid makes convenient storage bits in regular use.

I’ve ordered a magnetic one similar to that in my OP on the basis that if I knock it over all the bits won’t fall out.

This video was quite entertaining though if a bit OTT.

That’s ok if you rarely use them and don’t mind rooting through 30 or 40 bits to find the one you want.
