How do you store your cleaning supplies?

How do you store your cleaning supplies? I have mine dumped into a case. It is rather unruly because I have begun to shoot quite often. Everytime I go, I clean my guns. There is almost no organization in the case. Everything is just thrown in there. I am thinking about gettin a large tackle box so that the different tools, oils, patches, etc. all have their own place. Do anyone have any other suggestions/recommendations? Thanks.

I have mine (rod, patches, oil) in my range bag, and I clean my rifle while it's still warm after a session.

in the range bag. In a plastic box, but just kind of all over the place within that box.

I use a plastic tool box to store my stuff so it doesn't fly around. Fits just about everything. Black powder stuff goes in separate box.

I keep them in a hard case that came with my spotting scope. It also had a soft case for the scope so the spotting scope stays in the range bag and the spotting scope hard case became the cleaning case.

Flung randomly around my workroom seems to work for me.

I don't usually take cleaninig supplies to the range. All my cleaning stuff stays in my workroom. Its not quite randomly flung about the room but entropy is definitely at play there. Everything's just on shelves and in drawers.

I have a large cheap plastic toolbox where I keep my cleaning stuff. I use a small tupperware container to keep the used brushes in to keep the solvent smell down. I also have some cheap pliers and a 4 in 1 screwdriver, and some tape for targets. It works well, and goes with me to the range.

Well, I don't store them in the kitchen cabinet any more! My wife didn't think the smell of Break-Free went with her cooking, and she was probably right. ;) So I got a separate, freestanding cabinet with shelves and put them in there. I'm okay with this because I can find things and they're accessible. The extra space allows me to stock up on patches and such.

liquor cardboard box :evil:

One of my few uses for K-Mart anymore: They actually have a pretty good assortment of small plastic boxes with various sized dividers in their fishing department. Good for organizing and carrying gun cleaning stuff.

I use a Plano tackle box like this one:

Everything kind of thrown into a plastic tote/box with a handle on the lid.

Basically a real small toolbox without any drawers or shelves.

Keep them in a small fishing box.

Can't wait until I actually have a workshop to have this stuff in.

Another for a small plastic box with a handle. No dividers so I have to dig around for things.

I have different sets for pistols/revolvers, shotguns and rifles. I use pouches and the containers they came in.

Mostly in the boxes they came in, but I like the idea of a tackle box.

mine are all in a large tool/tacklebox type deal,orga
nized in no particular manner (it's on my "list" of hings to do...).

My stuff is in an old metal tool box that was my dad's. Brushes, rods and patch holders are in the top tray Rags and rubber gloves are in the bottom section. All my chemicals are on top of a roll around tool chest. All this is in my shed.

Most of mine are in a clean .50 cal ammo can. The rest are in a clean SAW belt can.

Guess what I use for a tool box? :)

I store small stuff like jags, brushes & mops by caliber in small plastic divided fishing tackle boxes. Those are stored in larger plastic containers with handles. Bags of patches, cleaning rods, gloves, wipes and special tools are in there as well. So far I have a large container for shotgun & rifle cleaning, a small one for handguns stacked on top of another small one containing extra stuff. All my cleaning gear is stored in a pantry-style cabinet.
