Work Bag Bit Keeper

Have you ever had a cluttered work bag. Finding driver bits scattered about or lost. For a mobile work bag it's very difficult to keep track of all the pieces if they keep falling out. Here is a simple project to keep all your Drill bits together. My solution Will only cost you about $2.50.

Step 1: Commercial Product

I found this product at my local hardware store, however it cost five dollars each. With the amount of stuff I keep in my work bag that would break the bank. So I came up with my own way to keep my driver bits together.

Step 2: Traditional Bit Keepers

These traditional keepers usually come with tools when purchased. They usually work great for a while until the bits start falling out. Usually winding up with a messy bag and driver bits everywhere, sometimes even lost.

Step 3: Carry Case

The carry case bit holders are great however they do not fit in work bags. There is no point to having a mobile work bag if you have to just carry an extra case.

Step 4: Items You Will Need

1. Tennis balls
2. Utility knife
3. Marker

Step 5: Cut the Tennis Balls

Cut the tennis balls approximately 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches as shown.

Step 6: Label Your Tennis Balls.

Using a marker label your tennis balls. You can use a symbol to represent Phillips, Flathead, or hex bit drivers or you can simply just label.

Step 7: Organize

Place the corresponding bits in each ball.

Step 8: Enjoy Your Clutter Free Work Bag.

Place The tennis balls back in the clear tube. Now your Bits will fit in your bag and make room for other items.
