Brush Tube Under $3

Great idea! Nice find. 

I wanted to share a great find that I stumbled upon while cruising the aisles of Home Depot. This little tube was made to hold screws or nails but is the perfect size for my Maggard 24mm synthetic which I use for traveling. It was only $2.40 and stood up to plenty of abuse as I recently returned from a trip to Africa under less than ideal conditions. The top comes off and has holes similar to a coin purse which allows the brush to air out (although I dried my brush out as best as possible before storage).  They make them in a few different sizes and colors so I'm sure the secret won't be mine for much longer.

For screws that's what it was, I knew they were available somewhere in the home Depot or Lowe's but I couldn't remember exactly what the purpose was.
