I would like some divided bins, maybe ESD safe. Suppliers I have found so far are Lewis Bins, Quantum Storage, and Akro-Grids. Does anyone have a brand they like and/or experience with any of those? Any brands I missed?

I haven't been using ESD safe ones, but the bins i use are just the ones from CPC: Link2

i suppose you can put all of the components in the ESD safe packets they arrive in.

I have a couple of the 64 drawer and 39 drawer ones from Akro-Mills, just the plain polypropylene ones, I haven't had any issue with ESD.

You could line the regular drawers with Al foil, however the whole unit still isn't grounded. Just leaving the parts in the ESD bags is probably the best bet, cost effective.


McMaster has ESD small parts drawers (I can't figure out how to link):
Search: Conductive Plastic Small-Parts Cabinet
100USD for a larger 26 drawer unit
80USD for a small 30 drawer unit

Sorry, to clarify: I'm looking for more of totes than drawers

For example:
-Lewis bins: Link2
-Quantum storage: Link2
-Akro-mills: Link2
-McMaster (not sure who actually makes these): Link2

For most stuff I do I don't need ESD safe so yeah, bags should be fine.
