Storing probe tips

What do y'all use for storing probe tips that are not in use? I'm thinking the little plastic boxes with compartments in them would be good and allow room for the compartments to have a sticker/ label in them with the probe size. But I feel no need to try 5 things myself when I KNOW one of you has something simple and cool. :-)

  • I like how my post has nothing to do with storing probe tips; strictly the rack.

    We don't have a good system. I've got a desk with some drawers in it. There are various pieces strewn between drawers. It is quite disorganized.
    Perhaps not a good system, but maybe one of those "Don't do this!" ideas!

    Been having a lot of those lately. Not really anything productive. Lol!

    +1's for the plastic boxes; they look quite efficient. I'd add another +1 for the labels but the forum said no
  • I wish my solution could be a probe rack and changer... I keep getting "well why can't you just check the whole part?" Well, because if you want reliable results that mean ANYTHING, different features need different probes and probe configurations to check those features well... I mean... I can and AM taking a circle of hits 0.2" deep in a 3" long bore and if that circle measures good, we call the whole bore good.. but if I build a star probe, I won't be able to get in all the other places we want to get to... yeah... it's a work in progress...

    There... I rambled back. <3

    Everyone here makes my day & helps keep me relatively sane. Thank you. :-)
