Does anyone make a tap and die organizer?

[rayh]

For the most used tap and dies I did like Grant but used a plastic box since 6 sizes covered everything I normally use. I did add a drill bit for the tap and a clearance drill bit in each compartment. Down side of the plastic box was no space for tap and die handles. I have a plug and bottom tap in each compartment. A couple have a tap I call displacement tap.. It doesn't cut but dresses up damaged threads. This has been a good subject, I have many other seldom used taps/dies threw in boxes I've long needed organized.

The Huot cabinets seem like a great solution; I am on the hunt for one.

Watch Amazon Warehouse.
I've picked up 3 Huot Boxes, "used in damaged packaging" that arrived in perfect condition, unused, in torn/taped boxes

Fractional Drill
Letter Drill
Tap and Drill Organizer

All 3 were about 1/2 price.

If I can find a couple more, I'll cut out and rework the inserts for dies, tap holders and tap handles.

Thanks for the replies guys, well I picked up what appears to be a Snap-On K-55W over the weekend (although the dead front is missing; I'll have to fab one) and since it is deeper than the Kennedy box that opens up more options. I think I will pull the Kennedy in the house to organize phono cartridges, turntable accessories, and random audio foo and use the SO for my machinist stuff.

I made dividers for some of the drawers in one of my tool cabinets. Only thing I would do differently would be to use solid wood instead of MDF. It breaks easily and I knew better but had some scraps of it handy. /Users/Allan/Desktop/IMG_3562.jpg

I went to AZ warehouse.. how do I find the damaged / less costly ones? Thx

Used empty wood boxes are available on Ebay, I have been tempted but they only hold one of each size.

Just search the warehouse with a brand name... Huot, Durham, etc...

If none pop up... there are none available.

Ive found this to be a very effective mobile setup. Perfectly fine for a shop setting as well.

Plano boxes P#3449-22, maybe $5ea

Very nice. Both tap and die in the same bin, I like it.

I thought that was clever as well!

Read thru this thread with interest.Always looking at storage ideas. While searching Amazon,at the suggestion above for Huot cabinets I came across these. Not the cheapest but they are appealing to me as a woodworker. I don't have any but thought I'd share.

Some great solutions for organizing.

Here's my old Sears Craftsman Tap and Die store display case with drawer I was lucky enough to score on Craigslist. It just happened to fit perfectly on my Craftsman 3 drawer mid tool box. Its still a work in progress as a drill bit and tap/die station.

PS.. A Craftsman or similar 3 drawer 26" wide mid type tool box makes for a nice Tap & Die box.
