Keeping your brushes in order?

[vetter3006]

I have a question on how does everyone keep their cleaning brushes in order?
I like to keep everything organized and in one kit,I have been keeping all the brushes in the original packages so I know what calibers they are for but I was thinking about buying a small compartment holder to label and put them in. What or how do the rest of you guys keep them organized or keep them in your cleaning kit?

I use something like this:



for all the small gun parts I have accumulated over the years. I use different boxes for different things. For example, I have one box for all my AR parts, one box for cleaning jags/brushes, even use one to organize and store batteries.

I went down to Lowes or Home Depot years ago and picked up a couple of boxes. Be sure to get the ones with movable dividers so you have flexibility in the size of each individual bin.

I was about to suggest the same thing. I have a set of brushes in a steel case, and I keep opening it upside down. Get boxes that you can adjust the sizes of the compartments and that you can see before opening.

I don't bother with the compartment holders. I take a dremel and engrave the caliber right on the brush just above the threaded part.

I hit walmart, picked up a 16" toolbox for 6$, and stuck all my cleaning supplies in it. There's compartments built into the lid that I keep my brushes/jags/etc in, I just tore the caliber list from the packaging and stuck it in the compartments with the corresponding pieces.

More or less the same thing. I keep my bore snakes in baggies that Have the white band on it so it can be labeled.

I went to gander mountain and got a dry box or whatever they call it. It looks like a fishing tackel box with a few different areas to store things. It works very nice and has a handle so you can carry it with you. I think it was $15 or so!

I don't use brushes.

All mine came in a kit with slots... I just keep them there.
