Some time back I got tired of fumbling with the box/plastic pouch of brad point drills I used all the time.
So I made this (see pic below).
Solves these problems:
I set the depths with the strip of hardwood walnut at the bottom. The main piece is drilled through. I set the spacing between the bits to make them hit the walnut and keep the exposed parts of the bits all the same height.
Sure its easy to knock over but nothing ever gets damaged.
It's not really much but I've really found it fits a bill in my shop. Just an idea I'm passing along for your shop.
So I made this (see pic below).
Solves these problems:
- limited space consumption on workbench (due to vertical orientation) allows permanent presence
- does not take the space of open box of bits lying on the bench while working.
- Keeps the Bits from being damaged, esp. the brad points and the edges
- Organized by size (indicated numbers are in 16ths.)
- One-hand bit selection, no more fumbling with hinged boxes, plastic pouches, etc. -
- Always ready to use, easy at hand.
