Before my wife drove over it in the garage, I had one of those boxes I

of the box. *In any case, the drill bits and accessories are still
fine, but the box itself is toast. *Do they sell boxes like this where
I could store the large collection of bits and accessories? *If so,
any recommendation on a brand?

A fishing tackle box????


Check with Lowe's, Home Depot, or large indy hardware. What you are
seeking is commonly known as a "drill index". It has openings for
various bit sizes with size on the index openings. I have one that is
40 years old.


I don't think the OP is talking about a drill index per se. I never saw
a drill index that held the drill, the driver bits, and the accessories.


The one that I have had for many years contained a Black & Decker
"Holgun" 1/4" drill with the bit index. I purchased it from Graybar
Electric Supply around 1960 so it's a bit over 40. The Holgun went
south 20 or so years ago and now I have a small battery powered drill
in its place for quick, minor repairs.
