What do you use for small tool pouches?

Roger in Iowa · Aug 5, 2020

After 50 years the pouches (plastic with snap flap) for my allen wrenches and small ignition wrenches have bit the dust. They were in a set of Craftsman tools I bought in 1970. Craftsman does not have any replacements. The metal box still survives.

Zip bags are not strong or heavy enough to give good service.

What are you using for the small tools in your mobile tool box.

I use the cloth or vinyl zipper money bags. Either find them at garage sales or amazon for a couple bucks each. I have so many for various things I have to write on them to keep track.

The plastic .22 rimfire ammo boxes are nice for some things like this. And you get to empty them! CCI mini mags are good and Winchester had a plastic box but it had a divider in the center, don't know if they are still using them.

This works good for wrenches.

How about a metal Band-Aid box? I'd color code them, one color for Allen wrenches, different color for ignition wrenches, spray paint or a wrap of colored duct tape or electrical tape.

Try "Lock & Lock" box from QVC . They are great and you can get clear so you can see what's inside.

Women seem to have small makeup pouches in every size and shape imaginable , and toss them out regularly .
I have one that was originally for mascara or some such stuff that I keep the small files and spanner needed to change over and dress ignition points for my tractors in . Allen keys usually end up in travelling toothpaste and tooth brush cases , the sort you used to take to school camps as a child , a different colour for Metric and Imperial sizes . Old VHS tape boxes are great for keeping small sets of tools along with instruction sheets that seem to come with just about every motorised thing you buy , the clear flap on the outside is ideal for putting a A5 sized booklet in .
It's a shame metal cigarette and tobacco boxes aren't common anymore , our Grandfathers kept just about everything in them .

The first thing I do with allen wrenches in a plastic case is throw them in a tool box and forget about them. I hate digging through a pile of little wrenches to find the one I need. Get a good set from Bondhus in a plastic holder.
Same with Wrenches. Get a proper holder or put them on a clip through the box end.
