Elsewhere I use FOOD-GRADE polythene boxes with hermetic lid seals. Inside these there is VPI paper, which only works in a confined space.

That's what I use for small stuff. My ER32 collets fit nicely in a Bacon box! Collet chuck is in a round Lock & Lock.

Most of my cutters, drill bits, taps etc are in 450ml clip & close boxes, £1.39 at Dunelm.

AlanT:
There are many makers of these boxes:

Sistema
Lock n Lock
Addis
Whitefurze

Each maker has a different set of dimensions so you can choose something that fits.
Unfortunately they have NO IDEA how to specify dimensions and buying is "hit and miss".

I think Sistema has the best clips and go for these first. These hinge properly, others rely on a thin plastic section as a pseudo-hinge.

Arbalist:
My favourite has always been the "Lock & Lock" brand but although they have the biggest range by far they don't always have the size you want. As said my favourite for cutters is the Addis Clip & Close 450ml that the likes of Tesco and Sainsburys used to sell. Luckily Dunelm now sell them at an even better price.

This is :offtopic: but I just had to bring this

to Andrew's attention! :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Thanks for that Pete - don't need a drone here - they hear me and start charging, you have to be careful not to be trodden under foot. Putting a bucket of feed into the trough is a risky business if a heavily pregnant Ewe decides to come in as a 'second row forward' between your legs.

we have JUST started lambing - 1st Ewe gave birth at 15:30 to a sturdy Ram Lamb and to his somewhat smaller brother nearly and hour later. The Ewe is a Dorset Down and the Ram was a Hampshire Down.

.... so the fun begins ...... NOT ! We had them all scanned this year so we know we have another 34 to go :scratch:
