Tap and Drill Storage Case

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This is a storage case (box) for the Irwin-Hanson 13-piece tap and drill set, #80187, with the 4-40 tap. I really like keeping the appropriate drill bits with the taps, for easy access. Note that this case is not specifically for the set #80185, which has the 12-24 tap instead of the 4-40. The 12-24 pair will not fit in this case.
This case is designed for easier access to the bits and taps - the simple vacuum-pack package included with the original set was very cumbersome to use. This was also designed to be printed on my smaller (160 x 160 mm) print bed. The resulting case is about the same size as the original blister-pack case, but is much easier to use.
The original tap/drill label, with a little trimming, will fit perfectly into the tap finger-well, providing a very nice label for the tap/drill pairs. I glued it into the bottom of the well.
