    Secure drill bits and other long, sharp items firmly in place for storage or transit. The end caps on these shipping tubes have an internal holder that keeps your item centered between the walls of the tube. The walls of the tube prevent the item in the holder from damaging nearby objects, and they prevent dust, water, and debris from building on your shipment. Because the tubes are square, they won’t roll away. Their flat surface makes them easy to label and stack. These tubes have grooves on the open end that click into place for a secure hold. The end caps have ribbed edges for extra grip, making it easier to push the end cap in or pull it out of the tube.
    Choose an end cap that matches the diameter of your item. Choose a short or a long tube based on the length of your item.
