Rubbermaid 48 Gallon Black Action Packer Lockable Latch Indoor and Outdoor Storage Box Container for Home, Garage, Backyard, Single

I was a little hesitant spending as much money on a "storage container", if you know what I mean. But the investment is well worth it if you are looking for a container to hold items you care about. In my case, I keep the container in the back of my truck bed to hold various items when going about my everyday activity, whether for work or play. The containers are solid, hold more than you would think and keep your belongings dry if outside in the rain or snow when inside the container. The latch to close seems solid, I am very rough on stuff, I work in construction and often have tools rolling about the bed of truck, I intend on buying two more of these, one to hold emergency supplies and the other for camping supplies this summer. The money spent on these is reasonable, one of these is equal to 10 of the average plastic containers with the cheap lids that never fit right. I highly recommend these for a variety of uses. On long road trips, I will tie it down with a bungee cord to hold it in place better. It is also very solid and makes a good makeshift seat when outside. The 35 gallon sized one is a bit large to have to carry around on a daily basis, I also bought the 8 gallon sized container which works for items that you need to carry around often. In fact I bought two of those. I am done buying the cheap average storage containers no matter how inexpensive, these are far superior in quality and I hope they last a lifetime if taken care of. I have started to use these containers for storing my "emergency supplies" and as a way to store anything I would need if I had to leave my house in a hurry. My town has been hit twice by tornadoes which left my area without power for almost a week. It was nice having all my most needed supplies and belongings stored in one container which allowed me to grab it and go within a short period of time. You never know what the future holds and having these sturdy containers on hand helps in any emergencies.

Very nice outdoor storage, easy to open and close. Keeps everything nice and tidy, and most importantly inside stays dry no matter the weather . I'm thinking about getting one for wood storage

Got this for hubbys truck so he could keep all his tools in the bed instead of cab. We mounted it to the bed. Been there for months and everything dry. No he can get to what he needs and still have room for people in the cab. You can also lock the box should you feel the need. It’s just big enough with out taking up to much space. I was hesitate about paying the price originally but sore am glad I did.

I’ve used the Rubbermaid Action Packers for camping and storage for 30 years. I load them up with all manner of camping equipment and supplies and toss them in the bed of my truck - stack stuff on top of them, slide them around, drag them through the dirt, and I have even used them as a chair. I have never had one break or crack. Just wipe them out or hose them off and they are good to go again and again. The locking handles are easy to open/close and have a good positive click feel when locking. They are extremely durable and fairly waterproof (although they do not have a rubber seal). They will keep your contents dry in the pouring rain, but you can’t submerge them. They will float upright if loaded heavy in the bottom, but if water reaches the lid, they will take on water, so don’t drop them in the lake. There are cheaper alternatives out there and I have tried a few over the years, but I have always come back to these containers as my go to solution. Known brand from a well respected Mfg… Great quality and durability… Reasonably water resistant (rain/snow)… Fair price… Highly recommend!

I love this trunk. I now own two. I own three other Rubbermaid bins of different sizes and use them all. They are my favorite because of how reliable and sturdy they are. My Dad bought me my first Rubbermaid storage bin in 1996 when i needed a container to keep my tack, brushes and equipment in when I went away to my first horseback riding summer camp. He bought it for me because it was so sturdy that it would double as a mounting block so that I could get on my horse easily without help. I was 12 and pretty short; and my horse was very tall, not to mention wiggly. I loved the independence this multi-functional bin afforded me, and it sort of became an item of superstition for me after that. I used it for years as my tack trunk and it went everywhere i went with my horse: lessons, horse shows, pony club rallies. I’m almost 40 now and I still have it - and it still contains my grooming brushes for my horse, and it occupies a proud place inside my horse trailer. 28 years after that awesome summer horse camp. I’m gonna go write the year I got it inside the lid. If we’re all still here in another 28 years I’ll dig up this review and report on its condition. I expect it’ll be much the same.

The wheels and handles make it super easy to move around, even when it’s fully loaded. The plastic is thick and durable, and the latches stay securely closed. Great for storage and transport - and I love that it’s made in the USA

Great to use for camping!

This is an excellent storage box - with only one drawback. The steel eye/hole that receives your padlock (not included) is so small that only the smallest of padlock shanks will fit into it. It’ll accept just enough of a lock to keep an honest person honest - the size of a typical TSA suitcase padlock, but nothing bigger. Still, I’m happy with the purchase, enough to give it the full 5-star rating.

Está muy bien hecho el producto, sólo que le tuve que agregar una cinta adherible a todo alrededor de la parte que hace contacto con la puerta para tener como insolación y que no se meta polvo, la razón por la que no le doy cinco estrellas es por el precio.

Used for a 7-day Arctic canoe trip. Wonderful storage - kept the critters and water out, and was lightweight (enough) for physical transport. Would recommend and use again.

It is very well-made, great for putting all my camping gear in my campervan Also looks good

Muy útil para toda la herramienta que tenia, muy resistente , la recomiendo y me llego antes de tiempo

resistente y muy utiles
