Pro Tech Toolkit - Easy way to label the drive inserts?

I absolutely love the Pro Tech Toolkit. The quality and variety of bits is amazing.

But... with my aging eyes, it is near impossible to read the sizes of the bits, or the shapes in the depressed black foam. Has anyone found an easy way to label these better? I'm often looking for a bit by description and size but can't for the life of me figure out which bit it is that I need. A guide might say a 'Pentagon 2.0 but I just can't figure out which one it is.

Ideas for better labeling?

I have ordered the LED head magnifier to see if this might help but better labeling is the right way to go.

@rameeti ,Robert, maybe consider making your own bit holder, which then you can clearly mark in larger character to enable quicker access. 4th and 5th link are the different screw drive types. See links below for how to's. Good luck.

Robert, I was not familiar with the kit until now, I had thought you were talking about a drill and kit as in the picture beside your question. I apologize for this. Now that I see the Pro Tech Toolkit you are referring to and you like the arrangement of the case. What I have had to do because of aging vision is I went to the dollar store and picked up several sets of glasses with magnifying lenses starting at 1.5x up to 3.5x which have helped me from identifying small type to seeing the stamping/type on smaller precision tools.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

iFixIt is immaculate in their design of tools. ie. The lid has molded grids to keep parts separated, the magnet corners of the lid, the magnet attachment of the case into the opening of the fold up wrap, etc. I'm not believing that I can better the current bit holder with the slots so nicely cut out but the labeling of the bits is distinctly an oversight. I'm thinking their amazing design team can come up with a better answer for this shortcoming and I'm open to something I can do to the bit holder as received.

I looked at this and you're very correct. You might try using a white crayon and rubbing it over the bits you use the most and see if it will show up better. I thin layer of white nail polish might do it too,

I downloaded the relevant layout from the link Earl shared (https://help.ifixit.com/article/196-bit-...), carefully cut out the bit and tool positions, and placed it over the foam - works well for me!

I did a search on this topic hoping iFixit would have a pdf with the labels we could print out, cut into strips, and fasten between the rows.
