Plano 3440-10 Waterproof Stowaway (3400 Series)

Great bit of kit. Seals like a vault. Super light weight....but, sturdy plastic with lots of ridges to keep it strong. Water proof as long as you put lube on the seal from time to time. The lube will keep the seal plyable and more water proof. Using the case to store my radio, batteries and charging cord. Radios don't like water...so, this is the perfect travel pack. Highly rated and recommended for anyone who needs a safe and secure way to store something. Would also work great for medical supplies, fire starter kit, batteries, fishing equipment, camping/cooking, sewing suppliles and much more. Pictured...Reteckess V115 available here on amazon. Great radio. Also pictured...small swiss army knife and ruler. Edit...since the first one is fully occupied....I bought another two. Will find uses for them very soon. Added another set of pics of the empty ones.

Love the cases. Actually a good price on a plano product. Using for rc hardware etc.

Over time my electronics hobby has collected a lot of small parts in low quantities and I never had a good way to organize them. These boxes are excellent for the purpose. I don't actually need the waterproof-ness of these, but the three heavy latches, along with the tight tolerance of the adjustable dividers, keeps all my small parts organized with no drifting of parts across compartments. Highly recommended.

The good. These are well made. They have a rubber ring that seals them and makes them water tight. They have removable dividers that make them flexible for storing all types of lures and tackles (though most of these types of boxes have this, so it is nothing special). They have excellent latches that close them tightly. What is unique about these boxes is the rubber ring which gives the water tight seal and the 3 latches which close them better than the majority of these types of boxes. These close very securely and they are NOT going to accidentally open. The latches also seem made such that, unless you abuse them, they probably are not going to break. The bad. The only negative on these boxes is that they are not as big as other 3700 size boxes in terms of interior storage space. That is because of the unique latch design. Being designed to have a water-tight seal, these have bigger, more secure latches. The latches take space. The overall length and width of the boxes (including latches) needs to be within a certain specification to be a "3700" size so they can fit in bags that are made for 3700 series boxes. Because of the latches, the interior space is a bit smaller than your standard (typically cheaper) boxes. It is noticeable. So you give up some internal storage space for the water tight seal and very secure latches. I bought these to replace the standard (some would say cheap, but they really weren't that bad) 3700 series boxes which came with my Plano Guide Series Tackle Bag. These are definitely better made and seal much better. However, they do not hold as much as the boxes that came with the bag.

I bought this because I was putting together a camping/outdoor bag and didn't really know how I wanted to lay it out. I knew for sure that I wanted a few things (fire starting kit, a few camp supplies) to be waterproof, and I saw this box for a reasonable price so I bought it to try. I'm glad I did. In the past, gallon Ziploc bags have been my go-to for keeping things dry. They work well, they're inexpensive, and they're not rigid so you can tuck them into irregular little pockets of space inside a bag. They have their place. But for a fire starting kit, I wanted something really durable, buoyant in water, and rigid enough so that my equipment wouldn't get damaged by a tumble. Fire can quickly become critical if something goes wrong on a hike or camping trip so I needed my kit to be clean, dry and undamaged when the time came to use it. This kit holds a couple of boxes of matches, a butane lighter, a small Fresnel lens (way better than a magnifying glass for starting fires), a piece of fatwood, and a few cotton balls soaked in candle wax and sealed in small Ziploc bag. If I have this kit, I can get a fire going anywhere that there's fuel. (And yes, I keep a backup butane lighter in my pocket in case this kit gets lost, but I really hope it doesn't come to that.) I liked this box so much that I bought another and use it for a small last-ditch repair kit. It holds duct tape, 550 cord, a new single-edge razor blade, and a small, unopened tube of cyanoacrylate glue. The tape has been removed from its roll and wound around a small, flat plastic sheet so it will fit inside this box. The razor blade is taped to the lid so I can always find it. I may add a couple of sewing needles, some thread, and some fishing line to this kit as I still have some room in the case. I've also used this case to keep my cellphone and car keys dry when I wade in rivers and lakes. It works really well for that, though you have to be careful how you put the keys in so that they don't scratch your phone's screen. There's enough room to include my driver's license and credit card as well, but it's small enough that it will fit in a (large) pocket. Yeah, it feels bulky, but my keys, phone, and cards are my most critical gear (can't get home without them) and I like to keep them on my person instead of in my bag. The clasps on this box are somewhat hard to close. This is a requirement for keeping it waterproof-- all that pressure is needed to keep it tightly sealed-- but if you have small or weak hands (or if you're injured or in shock), you may find it difficult to use. On the other hand, it is VERY waterproof. I tested it by closing only the center clasp, leaving the other two undone, and dunking it underwater. Even with only the center clasp holding the lid shut, this box remained waterproof in a foot or so of water. It probably wouldn't work if the larger clasp came undone but I like that there's some redundancy built into the case. If you camp or hike, a box like this will probably have a dozen different uses. For the price, it's a good idea to pick one up and spend some time thinking about how to use it to keep some critical gear safe. This summer I'll be wading in some lakes and rivers, and I'll be using one of these boxes to keep my stuff dry.

Top quality as always, delivered by Plano. I've been using their tackle boxes, and small plastic containers for decades.

I adore these products. It holds what I need and keeps a tight seal. The clips are a little difficult to open but you want that because of that water proofing seal. But it’s easier to close and seal it up. You can set up the spaces that you desire and organize it the way you wish. Seems to be built very good.

L'ho acquistata per per portarmi il cellulare quando vado a mare. Perfetto. Non entra una goccia d'acqua.

Uso esta caja para guardar mis swimbaits y caben perfectamente, tiene divisiones que puedes acomodar a tu preferencia, muy buenos materiales.

とにかくおしゃれ^_^ プラノのエッジと比べると堅牢性は劣ると思いますが、それでも充分な性能です。

This is a very well made tackle box, very sturdy as well as being waterproof and with three locking clamps, so no chance of it opening whilst on the move.

Sturdy, well made
