I'm not quite following your description but one thing I found out, is that if your case has pockets, stick a cardboard piece the same size as the pocket in it. Its perfect for tension wrenches and thin handled picks. Just stick them in the folds of the cardboard (this is how I have my wallet set secured)

i went there today to buy some giftcards and i saw it :lol:

it looks good for a few picks thou i don't think its thick enough to hold tension wrenches :? i may be wrong but the only way i think wrenches can get in there if if you use somthing like the peterson flat 5 :?

ohwell i'll wait to see what you do :roll:

I just tried this with my small top flap Peterson case and it works great. It keeps the tension tools (which are shorter than picks) from falling to the bottom of the case and being inaccessible unless you dump out the entire contents of the case. It's also good for bogotas.

Glad I could help :lol:

It’s just the matter of finding the right cardboard

A normal box should works good but with a bit of modifying (squishing the board, putting cardstock strips in the folds to get a snug fit) works great

I put a piece in my southord 32 kit and it stops the sliding around and keeps them organized 8)

Next time I see one of those corrugated plastic signs I'm slicing off a chunk, should be just as good and more durable that cardboard.
