EZ-Magnetic Chuck Key Holder

I used to laugh at older men when I was a kid for having pockets on their T-shirts or polo's. Now that I am older, I realize just how handy those pockets are. I still won't use a pocket protector though. I like your ideas. I like that labeling of the drill bits especially. I will also use this idea on sockets and wrenches. Thanks for the tips.

Most of my shop friends (all of us of early Jurassic age) use the expression, "Handier than a shirt pocket." My wife is aghast that I rate the quality of shirts by their pockets - how many, flaps, flap buttons, and when flap is closed is there a slit to accommodate a pencil clip.

I keep a pocket protector in my tool box to remind me of the good ol' days but my daughters refuse to be seen with me if I should wear it. At Halloween one of my grandsons wanted to dress up as a mad scientist. I was disappointed when he asked to borrow my pocket protector to complete the look.

A further refinement to the drill bit labeling that I made after the article was written... For the numbered drills use two colors, one to label 10, 20, 30, etc. and another to label 5, 15, 25, 35, etc.. This will speed the process of counting to the desired drill.
