snap on tap and die set box

[tank4114]

hey just picked up the snap on 76pc tap and die set for a good price its a older set but it looks to be the same case as the new ones.
now my question is does your guys case hold the bits in place as when i pick the case up by handle and tip it vertical all the pieces just go everywhere and you can guess how annoying that it having to reorganize them if i get a new case off my snapon guy will it solve this issue or are they all like this

I can't answer your question reference SO, however the same happened to me with a set of Miller Falls tap and die. You shouldn't have to go out of your way for the ill-designed works of another, but i just found a thin rubber mat to take up the gap between the case and the tools.

But hopefully there is a better case for you.

I did something similar to Jim with a socket case, cut a piece of the roll type packing foam and placed it in the case when closing it, kept things in place.

Your snap on guy should be able to order the replacement case for you tap and die set

My box has a big piece of foam in there. Keeps em from rolling around or moving out of place.

I have thin foam in a couple of cases that I have to keep every thing in its place

i know he can order a case but i want to know if it will solve my issue or will i still be stuck with a case that the dies roll around at there leisure

A new case won't solve the issue. As mentioned, those sets (mine included) came with a foam pad that everybody seems to throw away to hold things in place. This will solve your problem. The one that came with mine was dark gray foam about 1/4" thick and covered the whole set.

I use a couple red rags inmost cases, sometimes i have to put two in. They work well and are in a great spot when you need them.
