Seen countless of these thrown out but I'm looking for some for small tools etc.
What are these types of containers called, and where can I buy?

I just googled plastic sleeve container or Telescopic-style plastic packaging
Avon 35MM Dia Red Plastic Tube 120-200MM Length (Pk-50) 5036140248311 | eBay
Maybe a bit cheaper here
Avon 20MM Dia Red Plastic Tube 80-120MM Length (Pk-50) | Zoro UK
How many do you need? I cant be 100% but we might have some at work as we order drill bits all the time,I will check Monday for you.

Not as many as 50
. I already tried sleeve container on Amazon but nothing, didn't get as far as Google.I was hoping somewhere would do a selection of them in one lot.
I'll get some dimensions of the stuff I'm wanting to put in them.

They tend to be manufactured to certain tool suppliers i find
Was thinking of them for storing some of my lock picking tools (Mortice wires with handles, although there are lots of spiky things that need to be in containers) initially but I can utilise more .
Would be good for storing Eurocylinder locks too, as they are all the same cross section dimensions but different lengths. Size and number of keys is variable though.

Do you know anyone who works in a manufacturer factory.
As a lot of cutting tools come in these containers. Where I used to work most of the tools came in these types of containers.
They either pulled apart or unscrewed. I still use one to store my jigsaw blades...

Not now, and there is no production where I work now otherwise I'd probably been able to get some.
Mine is the green variety. Bit manufacturer/supplier was Cromwell Tools. Don't know what the container is called though but does seem to be primarily for machine tools.
