    Cheap top punch organizer

    Walking through walmart I noticed this little pill holder in the pharmacy department. It looked like the perfect size to fit some top punches I usually keep in a small jar. Well, I plunked down $0.99 each and got two of them. They work perfectly.

    Good idea for organized folks. Mine all end up in one cell of my plano box and go thru and find the best fit when I need to change.

    I had to get rid of mine. I kept mistaking it for my morning and night pills. I no longer have an "iron" deficiency and passing the nuggets is roughage - the details of which are better kept to oneself.
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    I wondered how long it would take!!! The hollow point ones would be rough!

    Can’t beat $.99. I use a slightly larger one from Harbor Freight. Pretty sure it’s more money. But you get more capacity.

    If you need 4 different pills a day, the Carex "Mediplanner II" are a pretty good pill container.

    I just use a piece of 1X6 board and drill rows of holes the same size as the shanks on the top punches. I leave enough space between the rows to write what bullet the punch is used with. Cheap, easy and doesn't take up much space.

    YUP! A Plano tackle box with many small compartments. I label the compartment for what sizer is in it. I dump all the top punches into two of the larger compartments and do a trial fit on an as cast boolt when I need it. It`s my system and it works for me.Robert

    I think I gotcha beat on cheap-ness, I use a 25ACP plastic insert.
    The holes are the right size for top punches, draw back is marking wich is which.
    But free goes a long way.

    One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
