I am looking to buy a case for storing my SDS Bits in . As currently I’m using my car for work and would like a way of transporting them whilst working on the job out of the engineers van.
 
local carpet shop will give you the cardboard tube from a roll. it's about 4" diameter and free.
 
This is what I do, use each of the drill boxes to store the appropriately sized bits, then a piece of 50mm pipe with the screwed end pieces - you can usually get the pipe off site and the ends are pretty cheap from screwfix/toolstation

I tried the map/chart/art tube things and they fall apart very quickly.

I don't do much "work", so no van just a car so the same issue as you when I actually have to do something!

That’s a brilliant idea. I’ve ordered these:

wow, the pipe's expensive - anyhow you could make two or three for different sizes/type of bits.

My husband uses the same idea in smaller sizes for tig and sick rods - they are sealed so no issue with moisture killing the flux etc
 
4” Cardboard Tubes.
Order pvc conduit or minitrunking from CEF and get it delivered to your house. It comes in 3m long cardboard tubes.

I have a 16mm and a 25mm one meter SDS bits on the van.

Both are used infrequently but when needed are invaluable.

Not always just for the depth but sometimes to make life easier in the knees.
