Ryobi driver/accessory kits? Did they stop with the canvas rolls?

I was given one of the Ryobi drill bits & accessory kits a bunch
of years ago. Wonderful, rolled up into a compact unit that stuffs in
a tool bag.
Since then, I have accumulated a metric but load of hexdrive
drills, screwdriver bits, allen drives and the other goodies. But
there seems to be this idea that space is infinite, and one can use
the space of a steven king novel to store and hold a dozen drill bits.
No wonder tool boxes are now coming with wheels and extendable
handles! It isn't the weight of the tools - but the bulk of all the
plastic kits, boxes and accessory containers!
Anyway, what I am looking for is another canvas roll with (in this
case) elastic bands for the holding of drill bits, hex drive bits
(slotted, Philips, square drive, pozi drive, and security torx drive)
and related.
Does anyone have any idea why they stopped making these, and just
went to custom built injection molded containers with no room for
expansion?
Arrgh.

Different styles work for short/med/long driver bits, nut drivers,
spade bits, 1/4" drive extensions, etc. They lie flat in my impactor
case and don't take up much room. Life is 4+ years so far.

of the drill flutes to bash against each other, thus dulling them.
Another problem is that some shapes are not good for holding
under elastic bands. I have this problem with the rechargeable
batteries for the Nikon camera. They keep slipping out of the bands and
falling into the bottom of the case.
For everything else, the elastic bands might work, but the old
style rolls with pockets formed by stitches separating them. Make it
out of old oilcloth, if you can find it, otherwise perhaps with the tarp
materials which are now available. Perhaps add some tough cloth along
the bottom of each groove to reinforce the stitches.
This assumes that you have a sewing machine.

Many suggestions, thanks.
The pencil roll case is a good suggestion
Still I'm looking for something very much like this:

Yeah, that I think I might be able to find easier.
OTOH - again with they make them do everything and then some, and
all I want is a straight stitch.

Long ago, I did a website for a lady who made liturgical vestments.
I had absolutely no idea they wore Cordura, nor that they were
laborers and carpenters.

pay the bills, especially if the parish is small or a mission. And
some prefer to wear the cassock all the time, so "I need a 'work'
cassock."
What was interesting was her story of trying to make a set of
vestments for an Army Chaplain - with neck holes which would fit over
his helmet. And in "subdued" colors. 8-) Managed.

Singer 221 "Featherweight", which folds up to be quite small, and (by
itself) sews straight lines. There are accessories for various thing,
such as holding an edge folded twice for the stitching -- and even a
separate accessory which will do buttonholes. It happened to come with
mine from an antique dealer -- who normally sold antique clocks, but
happened to have this for sale after his wife passed on. I've used the
buttonhole attachment *once* -- to put red-lined buttonholes on the neck
button of a vampire cape. :-) The straight stitching I've used many
times. (And no, my wife does no sewing, so it is up to me. :-)

Hit Craigslist and look for Industrial Walking Foot Sewing Machines
Juki, Consew, Singer, Morse, to name a few of the GOOD machines.
Ebay has em...and occasionally you will find a good deal. I bought
and sold a dozen or more over the last 4 or so years..I think the most
I paid for one was $150 and sold it for $350 (without the table)

I paid $395 on barter (ITEX) for a Consew 210 with table. Great
little machine. The guy installed the slower motor for me since I
didn't need a 4k-stitch-per-minute machine. It's for sale in So
Oregon.
The Singer 111w Walking Foot cost me $135 with table. The manual says
it requires left twist thread, which manufacturers say doesn't exist.
And I found a Universal for $5 at a garage sale. It's just like the
Singers from the early 20th century.
