I never thought I needed ammo boxes and gave many away to friends for free.
Years later I find they are handy for tool boxes in the boat and trunks of my cars.
I thought heck 3 bucks on sale I will get some plastic Harbor freight ones.
I have bought more than 10 of those and gave some to friends and one guy keeps his small ratchet straps in them.
I will no longer be buying those plastic ones.
I have had the hinges break off from too much weight. Sockets and wrenches in them and sitting in the trunk of a hot car I suppose killed the plastic.
Just yesterday I went to get tools from a box I had filled and left in the front of the shed.
My shed is an open front shed and does get some rain in it and on stuff.
I opened that perfectly sealed closed plastic ammo box and seen condensation on the inside of the lid and looked down and sockets are wet.
Darn thing is not water proof at all, there was water in the bottom.
Tools getting all rusty.
Now I wish I had all those military steel boxes back.
Do your steel boxes let water in ?
