I was in a local B&M store today and notice these ice cube trays at £1.99 for a pack of two:

What struck me about these was that the holes were round and about the same size as an ER32 collet. I bought a pack and when I got home found that they were absolutely perfect for storing ER32 collets as shown here:

Methinks they may also be OK for my ER25 collets too.

I am sure the designer of ice trays must be an engineer since not only are they collet holders but the long thin ones are perfect for milling cutters. Another good thing is the weekly pill holders as they are perfect for storing carbide tips and tiny screws etc.
