Rubbermaid tote with the yellow lids are great and hold up well them clear totes with the 2 flip lids just fall apart in no time. The RM roughnecks hold up to a load of traps and last for years. I always thought plastic drums 30-55 would be sweet if a guy could clean them out well enough.

Costco has "Greenmade Professional Grade Box". These are high quality, stackable and the lid snaps on. I can throw them in the back of the truck and they keep stuff dry and the lids don't blow off.

I have never bought any totes I thought were very good. I would like to be able to put about 60 pounds in them. I would like the totes to stack well, so that I don't have to build shelves. I would like a tote with a strong bottom, with a lid that fits tightly, that comes completely off.
The totes I have bought crack if one person picks them up by themselves, if they have a decent amount of weight in them.
I mainly would like to store traps, tools, hardware, books, rocks and a bunch of Diane's clothing.

Yea those yellow lidded totes are sturdy, I have a few. I prefer the ones I posted because the lid is attached. Be sure not to overload em, or youll never get em off the floor.

I used to move a lot of offices at work. First rule was never give anyone a big box because youll throw your back out trying to lift it.

Plano makes great ones in the USA. They are pricey compared to flimsy ones. Been a couple years since I bought them.

Ohio Boy, I like that design. I've gone through many totes but these ones from Costco are awesome(had too come here today to pick up a few things). They go on sale often. Greenmade 27 gallon storage tote
