Ok, I got a great new range bag that has lots of places for tool storage. I am putting my cleaning kit into the bag but am wondering what would be a good thing to hold my cleaning brushes? They would mess up the elastic keepers in the bag, also it would probably make the brush unusable in no time at all. What do you guys use to hold your cleaning brush when not in the original kit? There has to be something readily available that is right under my nose but I hadn't thought of to use for brush storage.

Travel toothbrush holder, the tube type.

I think it's MTM that makes a thick wallet size plactic flip top brush case that is seperated into 4 compartments. I use one in my cleaning rest around the house.

Brownell's sell different sizes of clear plastic tubing with end caps.
Cut to size and cap.

Ziplock bag and toss 'em in or then shove them under the elastic.

My mother used to love the little metal tins of Altoids, Myntz & such, so I accumulated a handful of the nice rectangular tins for use storing my jags & brushes. I've got enough brushes to sort into 8mm, .308, .22, .223, .38/.357, .45, and a couple more for spare parts, allen wrenches, and small & easily lost screws & parts.

For a small container for the brushes, you may want to check out discount places that are along the lines of Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Family Dollar stores, or other discount places that sells sundry items. Many of those places have plastic containers of various sizes that sells for a buck or so.

If you have handgun cleaning brushes that's affixed to a rod, then a length of PVC irrigation pipe with cap ends can safely store the brushes and rods.

Good luck with finding suitable containers.

I use a Plano fishing lure holder called a "Pocket Stowaway," I believe, with 5 long compartments. I use one for pistol brushes and one for rifle brushes. They are pretty compact.

Same here. I've been using several old Sucrets tins for years, they work great.
