Storage for drills, pins ect

[johnyrotten]

My wife asked me if I could use this, it's the container for her sewing needles.  Worked out perfectly to store the 5-6most common sizes of small drills, I imagine it should work for other things. 5 separate compartments plus the back opens for a 6th. If anyone's significant other sews, you may already have them around. Figured I'd pass this on

The end mill tubes is a great idea, we tend to go through them at work, so there's an abundance.

Anyone remember 35mm film canisters?  Great little storage items !

I thought they were only used to store "herbs" in, back in the day. I saw someone take film out of one, I thought that was a novel use of the containers.

The also work well for automotive grade spot putty and lightly used xacto blades.  I never thought when I stockpiled them that digital cameras would put an end to their availability.
