This review is from: Akro-Mils 66486 CLDBL 12-Gallon Plastic Storage KeepBox with Attached Lid, 21-1/2-Inch by 15-Inch by 12-1/2-Inch, Semi Clear (Tools & Home Improvement)

The best things going for the KeepBox are its size, price, and stackability. We would mention water-resistent, except for the two-piece, overlapping lid that closes in the middle like a cardboard box. The seal is not very tight, allowing for seepage as well as insects to enter, not that great for paper items or clothes. While the box is lockable, it requires either two padlocks with extra-long shanks or one adjustable cable lock to string through the holes on each side of the lid, adding to the cost if you want secure storage. We went for padlocks, which we thought would be tighter. Luckily you can buy these in keyed-alike sets, but we could find only 2 1/2-inch long shanks, and the size needed is slightly smaller, approximately 2 1/4. You could remedy this with adjustable shank padlocks, but they are hard to get keyed-alike. Another option is to place a nut on each shank to take up the slack. Even with these additions, we wouldn't advise storing anything of significant value, as the box affords only minimal security. The lid is thin in order to be flexible, so one can close it this novel way. We dont understand why Akro designed it so, unless for nostalgia's sake; you know, the old "ham pan" phenomenon, for folks used to cardboard boxes who would like something a step up. It seems a one-piece, conventional "egg carton" lid with only one piano hinge and one lock hole in the middle would be more feasable. Assuming you would position the container to take up the least linear space, you must place it so you can turn it around or lift it out for access.

These totes are the perfect size to stack, or store on shelves...they are strong & hold just enough to be useful, but not too heavy to lift.

Great, waterproof storage (around the base and sides.) Perfect to fit two side by side on our garage shelves. Cover never gets lost or touches the ground. Translucent boxes helps identify stored items without opening the box first.
