Watch tool pouch

What do you store your screwdrivers and other watch tools in?

I have a small zipper bag that is ripping and I have out grown it with the addition of tools.

thanks.

I am looking for some kind of pouch, leather case, which organizes the tools inside. Don’t want to just throw them in.

My bergeon tools came with their own boxes and plastic pouches so I keep them in their original packaging. Any other miscellaneous tools I just keep in any ziplock bag or pouch I may have laying around.

Go to Harbor Freight. They have all manner of plastic boxes and Pelican look alike branded Apache. The small Apache case might be just what you need. I’m using one of the amenity zippered cases United provided on one of my flights.

Here is one for chisels:

I’ve seen smaller ones for screwdrivers.

‘Leather tool roll’ may be the search phrase

I use one of these. I actually have several for different things, but my whole watc tool kit is in one of these. It’s perfect for watch tools, has extra storage and built to last forever. I’ll post pics of my setup tomorrow

That’s just perfect Rich. I have almost the exact same thing from Home Depot and another one twice it’s size for my straps.

My finest small tools (read: most expensive) reside in a plain pinkish/red translucent plastic pencil box. I swiped it off my 7 year-old niece.

Shoe boxes.

One for straps, one for tools and one for cleaning/polishing pastes and cloths.

I throw all my watch tools in an old cigar box. If I need to transport some tools, I put them in a little drawstring pouch.
