Product Information

They chipped and lost latches in our drop tests, so look to our heavier-duty bins if you plan to treat them roughly. If you need something more accessible, the butterfly lid of the Akro-Mils bins we recommend might work better.

We prefer it to the Brute and HDX bins for long-term outdoor storage, too—those bins have lids with raised lips that help them stack securely but also allow water to collect. 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. We like that this tote is easy to open, can withstand freezing temperatures and costs less than similar bins. 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. They fit neatly on my closet shelves, but they’re not firm enough to stack if I fill them with anything bulky or heavy. This jumbo-sized, wheeled bin is the easiest for transporting large loads or storing long, oddly shaped items that won’t fit in other bins. We saw several commenters saying they’ve used the ActionPacker for years and that it’s held up through all types of weather.
