IRIS USA 19 Quart WEATHERPRO Plastic Storage Box with Durable Lid and Seal and Secure Latching Buckles, Weathertight, Clear with Black Buckles, 6 Pack

Product Information

The ActionPacker’s deep, rounded handles make it easier on the hands than the Brute, Roughneck, and HDX bins we tested, and the 24-gallon size is much easier to haul around than its big sibling, the 35-gallon ActionPacker. Both PP (PDF) and HDPE (PDF) will degrade eventually from exposure to oxygen and UV from sunshine—which can cause discoloration—but the bigger concern is cold. Long-term test notes: I’ve used these bins to pack away all of our family’s holiday decorations for four seasons now, and the wheels, handles, and latches have held up to an increasingly large amount of stuff packed inside, in addition to surviving being dragged up and down a hill and across our gravel drive (our storage room is outside). LATCHING BUCKLES - Multiple latching buckles secures to the durable lid making it ideal for clothes storage, document storage, food storage, hunting gear storage, camping gear storage, tool storage, trunk storage and other items. It’s usually sold in a two-pack (Sterilite told us that it sells the bins to retailers in pairs), which may be more storage than many people need.

Why it’s great: The Akro-Mils KeepBox Attached Lid Container is the most convenient bin for anyone who struggles with tight lids. They were also the tightest-sealing clear bins we tested, thanks to a foam gasket in the lid and extra latches around the edges (most bins have only two on each end). We tried to attach a few sticky labels but they fell off immediately, so we think a marker or a good memory is the best way to keep track of what’s inside.

The bear stole the bin from outside my chicken coop, dropped it on the latched side until it popped open, and made off with some chicken food. These inexpensive, breathable boxes are better than plastic bins for clothes storage and they were the easiest to load and unload. Durable: All bins should have closures that work consistently and materials that won’t break or tear with everyday use. Long-term test notes: Over the past three years, I’ve used the Iris test samples for everything from storing my daughter’s artwork in a closet to housing baby chicks ( with a hacked lid to let air flow) until they’re old enough for our family’s chicken coop.

She can manage the lid more easily than one with latches, which helps avoid litter spills on the carpet. We like that this tote is easy to open, can withstand freezing temperatures and costs less than similar bins. Flaws but not dealbreakers: The iWill doesn’t have a slot for a label and because the container is opaque identifying what’s inside is difficult.Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).
