Empty drill box

[Eric CoxParticipant @ericcox50497]

Does any know where I can get an empty graduated drill box from to house my numerous individually obtained drills.

[Martin KyteParticipant @martinkyte99762]

I didn't but I do now.

Google, him say eBay.

Eric,

I have one looking for a home—send me a PM please with your address.

Might help if you said if you need metric, imperial, number, letter, etc and also range of sizes and increments.

[BazyleParticipant @bazyle]

Often left over on bitsa sales stands because everyone wants the other size……..

[Brian WoodParticipant @brianwood45127]

Eric,

​I am rather embarrassed to say I can no longer find it, I had a bench clearance some time ago, put things in a box which I have since misplaced!

​So, it might be better for you to see if someone else can help you instead. I'm sorry to have got your hopes up.

Regards
Brian

[Eric CoxParticipant @ericcox50497]

That's OK Brian, thanks for the offer.

I'm looking for Imperial, 16th's or 32nd increments 1/8" to 1/2"

[Martin KyteParticipant @martinkyte99762]

By Eric saying 'empty graduated drill box', i'm guessing he means something like this:

But, I don't like guessing, so I guess he will clarify .

[Martin KyteParticipant @martinkyte99762]

he also said he wanted somewhere to put his drills. So perhaps a stand would suit him better. Who knows?

Except you would have to cut all your drills in half to be able to get the lid on

I don't think there is a lid, just a handy storage tray that goes under.

Unless you can find someone, like Brian, with a spare one, it's probably going to cost you a tenner by the time you've paid the postage.

This one on ebay with slots from 1/16- 1/2 in 1/64ths is only £13.80 delivered; the trouble is, that it's already full of drills, so it still leaves you with the same issue.

Try "Drill Index" when searching

The old problem of getting rid of a heap of soil – answer, dig a hole and bury it

WHY NOT JUST DRILL A BLOCK OF HARDWOOD WITH EACH DRILL AND MARK IT,S SIZE ?

SEEMS SIMPLE ENOUGH TO ME !

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

Buy a cheap set from Screwfix or Toolstation and throw the drills in the DIY box with the left over nails and screws.

[Howard LewisParticipant @howardlewis46836]

If all else fails, why not make a stand? Take a piece of metal and drill a hole with each drill, gradually increasing in size, and job done! All it will cost is a bit of steel, (or sheet aluminium fixed to a block of wood) and a little time.

Do Cromwell , Machine Mart, Toolstation or Screwfix offer empty drill boxes? (Sure that I've seen them advertised somewhere)
