Hello, just getting started in swaging and was wondering How does everyone store their dies? Specifically RCE dies.

No They have several styles and sizes to chose from.
Flambeau Fishing tackle boxes with Z-rust dividers. Cheaper than the HF boxes and on Amazon.

HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!
Thanks! I have a few sets that need proper storage!
+1 to the harbor freight compartment boxes with the blue seals. They come in varying sizes and are sturdy enough for abunch of dies and punches.
I use Milwaukee packout three drawer toolbox for my RCE dies, may be a little pricy but I like the modular aspect and use them to store jackets, parts etc.
I have RCE equipment and store them in fishing tackle boxes and I put VCI paper in all the compartments to prevent rust.
I have used several different kinds of plastic divider boxes over the years, the Flambeau ones are perfect and with rust inhibitors, even better. I bought mostly the 11" ones for reloading and swage dies, but also got 10 14" ones for my Hollywood Gun Shop shotshell dies. They are a perfect fit for the very tall master dies and even powder and shot droppers
