Excellent Tote

I was deployed overseas with the US Army on Operation Iraqi Freedom, We filled these totes with as much as could be put in them and walked on them, stacked them, slept on them, and through all the abuse they held up fine. I do not know of any in our unit that became unservicable. Excellent Product.

Perfect for camping

I own each of the different sizes and have used them for years to store my camping gear...camp stove, dishes, lanterns, propane tanks, tents, knives, hatchets, first aid kit, food, clothes...eveything goes in. When I'm ready to go, a quick inventory and into the bed of the pickup they go. Instead of loading all the individual items separately, I simply load 5 of these and I'm off. Don't have to worry about the lids flying off driving down the highway. When I get there I can leave them out in the rain...and they're dirt, bug and racoon proof too. And they double as seating. Couldn't recommend them more highly for storing and transporting your camping gear.

Very Sturdy - Heavy Duty

I am a big guy, 350 lbs. This is the only storage container I can stand upon and jump up and down without it collapsing. I have used them for everything. You can even use this bad boy as a cooler--it holds two cases beer and enough ice to keep it cold. The top is insulated so that even with it full of beer, you can still sit on it or use it as a staging point for other activities. The best thing of all is that you do not have to worry about it breaking because you have used it too roughly. Way to go Rubbermaid!

Simply the best!

I've had 2 of these for around 20 years. They have been all over the US camping and they are hands down the best storage container I think you can get. They've been dropped, drug, rained on and soaked in mud. They are simply the best!

Extremely poor quality

I bought two 35 gal bins for my scout group, but I will be returning them. One had a bad latch that wouldn't stay locked. The other had a warped lid that would allow water to leak in if there was blowing rain. Very poor production quality for the latch alignment and cheeply produced plastic molding. The two bins had some sharp rough edges where the excess plastic would have been removed. I have an older 35 gal bin that is flawless and appears to be built better!
I checked another retailer and observed similar production issues with the 35 gal bins. Rubbermaid significantly cut the quality on these bins... very disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent Tote!

We are a Canadian missionary agency, Africa Community Technical Service (ACTS) and we send teams over to Africa each year and the 90.8 L ActionPacker has worked for us. We must have purchased way over 100 by now. We fly by British Airways and they are exactly the right BA baggage dimensions and survive the ground crew beating in Canada, London UK, and Entebbe Uganda, many have made a number of trips in both directions and survived. They are lockable and we ship sensative survey equipment and water quality checking equipment. If you have stuff you want to get there in one piece this your box! The price is getting a bit high though, since we starting buying them it has almost doubled now! But we have not found anything comparable both in durability and dimensionally.

16 Years Later...

When I was about 12 years old, my Boyscout group took a camping trip into the mountains of Georgia and we were all required to purchase one of these containers. I am now 28 years old and the same container still gets used, every month or so, when I go camping. She is tough, good looking, and when I am not camping - She sits in the garage ready to deploy with all of my gear. There is something to be said about the impeccable design quality, rigidity and usefulness of this packer. When I read the review about the armed forces using these overseas - I knew that I wasn't wrong. I hope this product is around for my son/daughter and their scouting life and if not - they can just borrow mine.
