Screw sturdy magnetic strips along a 2×4 and install it on the wall of your work area. Your drill bits will stick to the magnetic strips, and it&#;s easy to grab the ones you need. Plus, clean-up couldn&#;t be easier. You could also use this method for organizing hex keys or slim saw blades.

If you&#;re trying to decide between 1 1/8 and 1 1/4, it can be hard to visualize until the hole&#;s actually made. So build a simple wooden frame that can hold your bits standing upright, and attach a strip of 1/4&#; plywood along the front that shows you a full sizing index. With just a quick glance at the sample holes, you&#;ll know exactly which bit to choose for your next project.

You can use plumbing pipe to organize just about anything in your garage, shed, or basement. Saw short pieces with a 45-degree angle on one end, and screw them into a wall or pegboard. The cubbies may be too small for your tiniest drill bits, but they&#;ll work well for larger bits &#; as well as screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, and other small hand tools.

Happy organizing!
That Huot Classic is for #1-60 bits and I assume your first assortment will be for 1/16-1/2". This will give you that Huot and 96 HSS drills to go with it:I bought that set but in the Super Premium Mechanics length with 3 flats. It is $100 more but I already had tons of Jobber length HSS Drills.BTW, the upper drawer on that case has a short upper drawer for the smaller sizes. This leaves a large area that is the full width of the case to store long drills and other sizes in cases.
