You could buy a tool holder that is sized accordingly with sizes clearly
labeled on the holder. That solves both the identification and storage
problem. Or replace with bits/keys that have the size stamped on them.

I had a hanging tool rack with lots of different holes in it. As I built up
more of the stacking small parts chests that line the back of my workbench,
I had to put the wrenches/drivers in a drawer. It's so much harder to find
the right size. I like your idea! I could even integrate it into
Slowly, I have been sorting out the fistfuls of drill bits in my machinists
chests, and, with the help of the three drill gauges (letter, number,
fraction), I can determine the correct sizes of the ones that are not stamped.
Or to really waste lots of time, I have used a micrometer to measure
For the larger ones a 6 point socket set will get the majority of them.

Good idea.
A hex key will fit a drill gauge that's 1.155x as big as the key.
Example: 6mmx1.155=6.93mm or 17.5/64 inch. If it's a bit loose in the 9/32 drill
gauge hole and won't go in the 17/64,
You need 3 things.
1. Vernier caliper, digital, Harbor Freight.. $9 and change on sale
2. A drill and tap chart that lists all known decimal, number, and letter
drill sizes in both metric and SAE measurements.
3. Some scrap blocks of 2x4 long enough to drill a nice straight line of
holes [or
