Toolbox for "gunsmithing" tools

[TLE2]

I am moving into an apartment and won't be able to have a dedicated gun bench.

Any suggestions on a good toolbox for solvents, tools, etc. I'd like to have something that had a large enough compartment so that the solvents and oils could stand upright.

Thanks,

I have found that a Tackle Box works quite well. Compartments for screws, springs, brushes ect...

Stanley toolbox available at Walmart. Actually it's two toolboxes, one 19" the other 12.5".

I like to use MTM Case-Gard Utility dry boxes. Exterior dimensions 15"l x 9"w x 12.5"h. By my reckoning, the bottom compartment interior dimensions are roughly 12"l x 7"w x 8"h. I bought mine years ago, but I believe Academy still sells a similar product---I would guess $20.

In the bottom compartment, I can lay cans of aerosol degreaser on their sides, and have room left over for Kroil, 4oz Hoppe's #9, etc, braced upright by the aerosol cans. The top compartment is a great place to stash patches. I can keep one-piece handgun cleaning rods, lubrication syringes, etc in a tray that sits above the bottom compartment, and jags and brushes in caliber-specific caddies secured with rubber bands.

As Cosmo 9 and cougartex mentioned, a toolbox from Walmart or an old tackle box can help organize hand tools, spare springs and parts, etc.

gun related screwdrivers (make sure they are exactly proper for the slots), punch set. wood or synthetic mallet, and hex keys.... as far as a box, it don't matter! Just have the right tools for the job. And, depending on how far you go, maybe even an inexpensive torque driver.

oh... might as well throw in some fine files, 600-1500 grit wet dry paper and a dremel, too
