Micro drill storage capsules

[ckucia]

I got some of these from my grandfather, but I have a small bunch of tiny drills and being able to buy maybe a dozen of these capsules would be a big help organizing them. But my searches haven't turned up anything like this. Anyone know a source for these or something similar?

They're maybe 1-1/2" long and 3/8 diameter.

Pill bottles work great. Hit up you local pharmacy for some that are just large enough.

I use what McMaster calls Cut-to-Length Shipping Tubes. They have em in various diameters & come in 4 or 6 ft lengths. I prefer these cause they're inexpensive & I can cut them to any length I need. They sell specific anti-roll caps for them but I just use regular vinyl caps, also from McMaster, way cheaper.

Can cut them with scissors or a knife but I use the HF mini chop saw to cut them. Cuts them clean & square.



I also use their telescoping tubes for various tooling.

I buy a similar product to what DarkZero recommended from US Plastics. I use it to store end mills and such.
