Best storage for insert and/or power bits?

[measuredtwice]

Where do you like to put your bits?

Here are a few of mine...

.22LR ammo box
I got this idea from a friend. 100 round .22LR ammo boxes are a perfect fit for 1" insert bits (except oversize bits). You can pick these up for around $2 from your local gun shop. Prices on the interwebz are double or triple so that they can give you "free" shipping. Nice and compact way to store lots of bits.

PB Swiss racks
These accommodate both 1" insert bits and 2" and longer power bits. PB Swiss also sells containers that house the racks but I haven't tried them. I paid a little over $2 on sale but prices vary greatly on the interwebz.

Ullman Devices BH-2
Just a simple vinyl holder but it works great. HJE sells these for a under $2. Some of the online prices are much higher and shipped "free".

Felo Swift
Comes with 6 bits and a magnetic bit holder. I got it for $5 but they usually cost more than double. Typically I buy bits a la carte since it is cheaper but I wanted the bit holder because I thought it might be convenient for pocket carry. Great bits but unfortunately the plastic container doesn't hold the bits securely. Wera and a lot of other companies also make similar kits.

Tool brand kits
I'm pretty sure everyone has a few of these.

Zephyr / Bondhus kit
This is from the deal (now expired) that I posted recently.

Zephyr ZBB-4 Professional 31 Piece Bit Kit
I don't have this one but the red metal box looks nice.

I use the MTS 580 Series for my insert bits.

I recently purchased this one and so far I like it very much.
I took advantage of the Zephyr deal and love the bits but somehow I inadvertently crushed the lid beyond repair.

I thought I would put this info here as it does apply. I just added a new thread letting everyone know I have found a source for these FreeZone racks.

Simple, neat and there are other accessories available.

Looks like a knockoff of the MTS-580. I'd rather have the real deal.

I like the amo trays (free is good). but geez guys most of these look easy to make on a dp.

I also use the ammo container idea.
Was hanging out with a freind shopping for camping gear, and when walking around found these plastic covered containers from MTM. My mind started wandering, and I realized several of the designs lend themselves perfectly for hex bits, drill bits, whatever. The J20 and R100 styles work best for me.

I like to make my own holders for that type of storage. Plastic boards do not change with humidity changes. The board is raised about 1/8" so you can easily blow away the dust and chips that might accumulate. You could also lay a magnetic strip in the bottom to grab the bits, if you wanted to.

Yea, dewalt boxes and .22 boxes are great. Those are for all the bits that didn't come with holders or boxes. So I have waaaay to many choices but it sure cuts down on hunting.

I have 2 of these on my bench for gunsmithing. You can get them with and without the bits.
