I have a wee bit of a problem.

I've collected (well okay, accumulated) a whole bunch of hex bits that I use
a lot, and I'm trying to find some way to keep them. Ideally, the storage
method would be:

- solid, so that it doesn't fall apart or have some dopey plastic hinge that
breaks

- secure, so that it doesn't fall open while in the toolbox

- allows me to see what's where at a glance.

Rough calculation shows that I have nearly 50 different bits that I use
(multiple sizes of each of slot, Philips, Pozi, Torx, Robertson, tri-wing,
span, clutch, etc., etc., etc.).

I've DAGS, and I can find tools with storage handles, or sets that come in a
storage box, but I haven't found anything that's *just* the storage.

Any thoughts from the collected wisdom here?

I use drawers a lot, mostly because I'm just learning to make 'em..lol
Anyway, I have 3 small drawers dedicated to various things that fir my
drivers/drills with hex..
Each drawer has a piece of pegboard the size of the drawer, suspended
about 1/2" from the bottom of the drawer.. the hex fits the holes a
little tight the first time, but work well..
it makes organizing them pretty easy and they're very accessible that
way..
