I have a set of 5C collets. They came in a box in those 2 piece square plastic tubes in which they ship things like this. Inside, each collet is in a plastic bag with the usual red goo rust preventative. I've only used/opened a few of the 18 piece set so far.
So, should I store them in the tubes or make a rack? I don't use them often enough that I need them to hand, but those racks sure look nice. Do I run the risk of the dreaded r-word (rust!) if they're out in the open? Is there any point in making a rack if I don't use the collets frequently?

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
