Action Packers

[Off-Grid Engineering]

I need a 35 gallon Rubbermaid Action-Packer or something with similar dimensions. Where is the cheapest place to purchase these? A google search came back with Amazon.com as the cheapest at about 68 bucks. This is going to be my truckbed toolbox for when I have the canopy on. Anybody know of maybe another brand to look for? What are you using?

Funny you should mention that. I went to Lowes right up the street from me and they didnt have anything close to an Action Packer!

Check out Contico Tuff Bin containers. The prices are comparable to Action Packers. I got one as Class IX before a trip and that thing was bulletproof.

WalMart carries them here in SoCal

Sportsman Warehouse has them.

I'd consider something a little more heavy duty for tools though. My AP works well for camping stuff, but I don't think it would hold up long for anything much heavier than that.

Odd you didn't find anything - I saw some boxes at Lowes/HD that would seem to work better as a toolbox.

Yea, I thought Lowes would have something suitable... nope, only containers they had were Rubbermaid's clothing storage containers. They were even wimpier than the Action Packers. I'm thinking about getting this Contico Toolbox special ordered through Lowes website... what do ya think? Anyone using this one?

Some years ago I found at Lowes a Rubbermaid Brute storage container. Similar in size to the consumer totes, but much sturdier, with a lid that clips on snugly. I only bought one, and I haven't seen them there since. Unfortunately I've only found these online at commercial supply houses, in boxes of 6 (for about $200).

I was surprised to find Actionpackers at my local Fred Meyer. Do they have those in denver?

Just saw this thread. Here in Denver, the Sportman's Warehouse in Aurora (Mississippi and I-225) has all the Action Packers. I've seen then occasionally at Gander Mt, south near I-225 and Illiff, but they usually just have the little ones. Sportsman's Warehouse is your best bet IMHO. The Englewood Army Surplus store also has a few, but not many.
