    I use a giant Flambeau tackle box. I've got two smaller boxes, but the cleaning stuff outgrew them. About half of the box stores cleaning stuff, the rest stores dedicated gun tools. Get one with a lot of open space...the wooden or aluminum cased Chinese kits are a waste 'cause there's no way to fit your own stuff.

      Two drawers in a metal file cabinet. Dont laugh... the little plastic bably wipe containers. I am such a damn pack rat I couldnt throw em away at first so they are stacked with brushes, swabs, cut up old tees, small tools, snap caps, etc. -very organized.

      Hmmmm... baby wipes.

        Genius, I have a small fortune invested in these things.

          I ended up purchasing a craftsman tool box. The tackle box is a really good idea as well though. Just depends on your price and need for mobility of the supplies.

            I like the clear sterilite containers that you get at Big Lots for storing cleaning things, get the tallest one you need for the height of your bottles. You can leave the container open on you bench or close it for trips to the range, or use multiple ones depending on how much stuff you acquire.

              Tackle box. It can get a little crowded with the aerosol cans in there, but you can make it work.

              P.s. I always use latex surgical gloves when cleaning. You never know when they'll discover that the gun cleaner you use causes cancer...

                Old machinest tool box, old craftsman flip top box, and 1 cupboard in the garage. Oh and 2 fold up tables to do it on so the wife won't hurt me. LOL

                Thieves are the lowest form of life out there, except for liberal politicians, of course, but that's redundant.

                    DC Shoe accessory bag used by skateboarders. Big enough to carry my oil cans and solvents with enough space to carry my patches. I keep my smaller parts (screwdriver, jags, brushes, etc) in a tin box which again is small enough to fit in my bag. My cleaning rod on the other hand is too long so it stays in my gun case.

                      All the solvents contain some level of carcinogen (or at least something that's bad for ya). I wear gloves, too. But I prefer the purple ones.

                      NB: Some of the solvents will melt ordinary gloves.
