Help

Hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction, I've just spent 30 mins looking but unless you know what your looking for it's useless
I'm after something to store/protect some items the size of pencils, they're about 8mm in diameter and 160mm long and I have 6 of them. A small thin box (picture a cigarette holder) would be good or alternatively drill bit holders of some sort.

Anyone have any ideas what to search for :wha:

Would cigar tubes work?

Bit to big really, but thanks Jim. Would be better if the tube had a diameter as close as possible to the item, so 10-12mm, or box thickness the same :hmm: ...next search knitting needle holders :lol:

What about these http://maccmodels.co.uk/materials-metal ... -long.html and cut them down to required length?

 

[Vossy1]

Thanks R, it's an idea, I've also looked at acrylic tube, with both I'd have to source caps :hmm:

Just normal 10mm copper tube and solder a cap on one end. Just push fit a cap on the other end.

Would prefer it to be a bit lighter Bob, something like this :hmm:

 

[pittsy]

Drill bit case , with the same size drill bits so your items fit nicely . ?

 

[Vossy1]

Thanks P, been looking at individual bit cases but can't find a slim multiple holder...if that makes sense.

Interesting iceo, thank you :thumb:

or a hard plastic glasses case

 

[Vossy1]

Possibly a bit too deep, looking something sub 14mm.

 

[iceo]

lined with foam with inserts cut out should protect what ever you want to keep safe

 

[nobyipa]

you could always stick em down there :lol:

just add some appropriately sized push-fit endcaps from screwfix and you're sorted. :thumb:
