Rubbermaid 18-Gallon Roughneck Storage Box, Blue, Set of 12 4.8 5 69 76
Roughneck Storage This container is perfect for all my Christmas decorations. By wrapping some of the not so breakables individually, I can save space by not having to use so many boxes to store everything. There's no worries about anything getting squished in this container! 02/16/2010
Dependable Arctic Luggage! These Roughneck Storage Boxes, we call them totes, are one of the best and most versatile inventions known to man!THESE ARE MAILABLE AT THE POST OFFICE!I teach in remote Alaskan fly-in villages, and this is a teaching staple! Most teachers use these boxes exclusively to mail and ship (by air, snowmachine, boat, barge, etc) everything. We drill holes through the lids and lips of the boxes, then use zip ties to close them up! The U.S, Postal Service accepts these, even the 17 gallon size. They are very common and I've never had one break or anything-they are guaranteed! Even in temperatures of 40 below 0, they do not split open or otherwise fail us! I write my name and other "home base" info on the sides in case the address label comes off, which has happened. These boxes can hold a load of things, and while you'll need muscles to move them, they are still taken at the post office.They are also handy for storing water once you're in a village-an essential in some places. We've used them for a small bathtub, and I think I've stored everything imaginable in them!I've been meaning to write to Rubbermaid for years, to ask them to drill holes in them for us ahead of time so that they would be uniform, but I've made a template for mine now.I've seen school district offices use these for books and other teaching supplies, library requests in the Alaskan "Bush". We use them to cart food in when we "go to town". Thousands and thousands of pounds of a variety of things are carted around in these Roughneck boxes in Alaskan villages regularly!Even when I stop teaching someday, I'll always have these dependable boxes around! They just last and last, don't crack like other brands. THERE IS NO EQUAL TOTHESE ROUGHNECK BOXES!No adverse weather conditions affect these boxes! They are handled roughly and just keep going and going! 02/15/2010
Fantastic Buy !! The Roughneck Storage Box is fantastic. We bought these years ago and they are still holding up. The are very sturdy and strong. They stack on one another just perfect. Very long- lasting. 02/14/2010
Roughneck Storage Box I have used these boxes quite often and overall give it 5 stars. The only suggestion I would think would make it better is to have a slot on either the side or front to put a 3x5 paper indicating contents. 02/11/2010
