Rubbermaid Commercial Products BRUTE Tote Storage Container with Lid-included, 20-Gallon, White, Reusable Boxes for Moving/Storing in Garage/Basement/Attic/Jobsite/Truck/Camping

I think these are the best boxes I've found, and sadly, I've tried quite a few types. They hold up way better than anything else I've used, they are thick and relatively hard plastic - but not brittle like most of the cheaper hard plastic boxes you would get at big box stores. These will bend and come back. They are also much more durable than the softer plastic boxes that you would get at other large stores. The lid fits on very tight, sometimes it is a pain to get off, but for most of the time it is a plus. The lids stayed on better in a flood than the Husky boxes with a waterproof seal and 6 clips. I do get a bit nervous with them sitting in the back of my truck or trailer without the lid being clamped down but have never had anything come off - but I usually do tied them down.It is also nice that they come in 3 colors and two sizes so i can actually sort by color and size.Two cons are the price which is high but it does seem in this case (or box) that you get what you pay for.Second con is the handles. These boxes have handles that stick out quite a bit. While this is great for carrying and actually using them, the handles take up a fair amount of space when putting on shelves so you do loose a noticeable amount of shelf space because of this. It is very worth it in my opinion however.

Durable, well engineered, storage capacity is excellent, exactly what I was seeking

My friend loves these storage containers so I decided to give them a try. They are made well, very sturdy and the perfect size.

Very sturdy box, I use it to store my bags of flour. I wanted a sturdy box that wasn't translucent/clear to keep my flours from being exposed to light so this was perfect.

The headline says it all. It's large, waterproof, sturdy and I leave it at my gate for pkge deliveries so books and such don't get soaked on wet days as has happened in the past. However, the very tight fitting lid is not easy to get off with arthritic hands.

I like that years after buying them they are still of the same quality. I don't like how heavy they are, but I think that's because I'm getting weaker as I get older. He turned 50 and things get heavier.I try and organize by color of tubs, depending on the type of packing I am doing, and it would be nice to have another color and often the only color available is gray.Recommending Brute tubs does come easy because they tend to wear out crack never. Mostlyafter you are tired of them and want something new just because period they don't wear out. I have yet to put them to the tests due to weather conditions I usually pack a waterproof stuff sack for the things that are critically important and the rest can get a little wet. I'm going to be in Colorado this summer and I will see how all of my Rubbermaid tubs in green, blue, and gray will respond to the freezing temperatures versus my desert storage unit and garage for a decade.From what I can tell so far they are pliable and semi rigid.

Old-school Sterlite enduser here, but unfortunately Sterlite doesn't make anything robust enough anymore so I've crossed over to the Rubbermaid Commercial BRUTE Totes: Medium 14-Gallons (56-Quart), and Large 20-Gallons (80-Quart) they come in nice neutral colors such as White, Gray, and Green. Both size Totes with Lids are stackable with each other. They're very heavy-duty, as they should be for the BRUTE name! The BRUTE Totes are food-grade safe, which is important. I like the White for the interior of the house, also with the White interior color you can see what your contents are in a darkly lit space. The Gray a perfect for the garage and tool storage. Rubbermaid also makes a Green color, which would be excellent for outdoor usage. I would also like to see a Clear-Frosted color as well in the BRUTE product color lineup so you could see the interior contents. But unfortunately, Rubbermaid does NOT market these products at all and they should because they're great. They are an older design, so I would like to see them more sleeker and more ergonomically re-designed, including the lids plastic snap-on mechanism could be re-designed to function better. Also would love to see additional sizes such as a Small, and perhaps different shapes. The sharp handles jet-out, so you can't put the storage bins next to each other sideways in a tight space. I could never find these tote bins at my local big box stores. They were always very hard to get.I highly recommend the Rubbermaid Commercial BRUTE Totes! But wish they were much more readily available to purchase. I don't always need a expensive case of 6 in the same size.NOTE: To Rubbermaid Commercial Division regarding the box with a case of 6, the top and bottom of the box should have interior cardboard bumpers to protect the box during shipment so the expensive storage bins don't arrive damaged.

I like this container cause it's strong and easy to store items that you don't want laying around and the lid is automatically snapped locked also it's stackability is nice and firm not like many other containers that are stackable but weak and bulging.
