So I am finding I am always using random numbered drill bits... So I came up w/ this, organized and simple to use - saves me time (which obviously =$$ as it does for all of us!) Got the adjustable tubes from mcmaster.

i have one of those little cases works well but only holds one of each. to the other side that wall of bits woudl be over kill for me for sure
im thinking about getting more fishing lure boxes i use them for all kinds of stuff in the shop and they dont cost much
 
I just keep them in the tubes they come in (I buy twist drills in packs of 12, they come in the same basic tubes you bought) and put those tubes in one of my tooling drawers. You'll find there aren't that many sizes you use regularly. I buy those in bulk, and keep complete letter, fractional, and number indexes for the less frequently used sizes.

They do make a drawer unit that is not to large .It will hold a quantity of each size from #1-60 . The #61 through 80 I just keep in small tubes in the bottom drawer.Hoyt is the maker.
