I bought a set of drill bits of different sizes from about 1mm to 8mm and
they come in a metal box where you open the box and there are two rows
of drills lined up, which live in appropriately sized holes and then fold
down flat when you close the lid.

The problem is the box is really horrible quality and the mechanism doesn't
work, so it's really hard to close the lid and the whole thing is incredibly
irritating to use.

What I want is another box, but one of better quality, without the drills.
I've searched online and failed to find one and I wonder if anyone has
come across such a thing?

Jumping in a bit late, but......

I've never found those 'index box' sets of drills very useful. In
reality what I need is ten each of 4mm and 5mm plus one of each of the
others. Sometimes I need a different mix if I'm doing something
unusual.

Just having a box with only one 4mm drill (for example) guarantees
that you will either break or blunt the 4mm drill the first time you
use it.
