Drill Bit Storage Organization? (taps, end mills, etc. too)

:enhance:

Do I spy a couple of GTD tap handles under there? I have a bunch but not quite that big.
Theres a number of big ones, but these are not the biggest ones even. Well, I have some indexable pipe threading handles that are pretty large. The two smaller of those type are there in the center of this bin.

Didn't realize it until just now looking them up, evidently the No 8 is the biggest one that GTD made so thats kinda cool.

Set of 6" calipers there for the scale of these two bigger ones. The No-8 is actually slightly bent. These both came out of DC Armature Works in Washington DC before they tore the building down and converted it into apartments.

Amazing how much bigger an 8 is compared to a 7. I have a 7 and a 5.....actually I have three 5's somehow :confused:

If you have any doubles, bigger or smaller and wan to trade for a 5, let me know.



I really want to pick up some more Starretts too. I have the smallest one they make (91a), that I believe came from my great grandfather died when I was like 8. It's so much nicer than anything else I've used. Really need to pick up a B and C.
 
For the Huot and vevor boxes, does it really matter which one to choose regarding how they’re labeled? Are they all the same inside when it comes to dividers etc? The config selections are a little confusing when browsing online. All my stuff is <1.25”
 
I really like these Schaller bins. I have a few drawers worth and need to get more. You can usually do a drawer for about $15-20. They have a configuration app on their site that lets you put in your drawer size and then you can add bins to fill it up and make an order.
