How do you store your G100/7424/7336 polisher or other type rotary, etc?

A 20" plastic toolbox from Menard's holds my PC and at least 6 to 8 pads in Zip-Lock bags with no problem.
It's about 8" square and I suppose the 20" denotes the length. It's in the garage and I'm not interested in going out in the 10 degree weather to measure it to be sure. :)
I think it was on sale when I bought it for less than five bucks.

I keep mine in the free bag from ADS. I keep my rotary in a bag I bought from Home Depot. A few pads and microfiber are kept in each bag.

I apologize I neglected to include cabinet drawers and the like as I was looking at more portable means and I relegated other or none to all else. Sorry for the oversight. Maybe Mike can add a couple more choices as I seem unable at this point.

I store both my PC and Makita in there original boxes. I wish I could get a custom case for each . I thought about getting soft "tool bags" but never tried them yet. I hope to one day get a nice cabinet with shelves, like an office type one with two doors.

UDM stays in the red carry bag it came with, along with a 50ft extension cord and a few pads...

I store mine in the bag that came with the kit from ADS. I'm looking into another route of storing it due to the Velcro pad getting misshaped. The weight of the polisher sometimes crushes the Velcro pad, causing the edges to roll up.

i used to put the g110 is the hard case but got tired taking the backing plate & handle... now i keep it in the meg's duffel bag from ads. my vote for duffel bag.

I picked up a couple of Sears tool boxes when they were on sale. They work perfectly and also have room for pads and some other tools.
I usually keep my stuff in one of these. I picked this up for under $50 on one of their sales.

If I have a mobile job I use a couple of these. I got these for $12 each on a sale.

In both examples, I can store the units with the backing plates attached and there is room for pads and other related stuff.
FWIW, Since my G100 came with a lifetime replacement guarantee I kept the original box and receipt in case I ever needed to return it. That was now close to 12 years ago. LOL. Guess I could have discarded the box.
