JConcepts can be super expensive, but that one isn't so far out of the realm of average.

So many places are offering those now.

I bought the small and medium from Harbor Freight and I'm a big fan of the small one for RC stuff. Good thing is the Harbor Freight ones can go on sale or, more likely, you can find coupons so they are even cheaper.

Harbor Freight
Small: https://www.harborfreight.com/small-10-34-in-x-5-58-in-ultra-grip-flexible-parts-tray-58159.html
Medium: https://www.harborfreight.com/medium-10-in-x-9-in-ultra-grip-flexible-parts-tray-58263.html
Large: https://www.harborfreight.com/large-20-34-in-x-11-12-in-ultra-grip-flexible-parts-tray-58264.html

Kobalt has a nice set with a magnetic section built into the one, but it is expensive unless you wait for a sale: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-2-Piece-Silicone-Organization-Tray-with-Magnet/5001950143

Protek magnetic version (similar to an inexpensive CowRC product): ProTek RC 5x9.75" Magnetic Screw Catcher [PTK-8153]

CowRC parts trays: Parts Trays & Strips - CowRC The RC Maintenance King!

S&B nice set: Silicone Tool Tray

Duralast: https://www.autozone.com/tools-boxe...ck-flexi-tray-silicone-parts-tray/1218928_0_0

Performance Too: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wmr-w1294?rrec=true

Viper: 2-Piece Flexible Silicone Parts Tray Set - VIPER TOOL STORAGE
Vanquish: Rubber Parts Tray

The list goes on and on. There are cheap-o brands on your favorite scAmazon-like site, but no experience with those.
 
Somehow I also worked on stuff for years before getting some parts trays.

I designed some 3D printable parts trays that can stack. They're great when I need to clear up space on the workbench but I dont want to put parts for a project away for good. Just stack them up and set them to the side. I made the bottoms of the compartments round so getting stuff out is easier.

If anyone wants to print some let me know and I can upload them to Thingiverse.

Sweet nesting parts trays! Yeah that is great idea as to not take up space.

Next on the list in shock stand

That's where a 3D printer comes in handy. There are so many free shock stand files online. I have a shock stand that came with my Tamiya vacuum, but if not, I just punch holes in a cardboard box.
 
To go along with HumboldtEF's cool design, this hardware sorting tray came up in my feed. May be better for sorting hardware to store rather than try to pull out of those tiny trays.
