Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 11920138 Action Packer Cargo Box, 48-GallonCustomer Review: My kingdom for a handle Summary: 4 Stars
Unlike other large plastic cargo containers with flimsy lids, these are well made and sturdy. Our recent family camping trip was a success thanks to the two I purchased. The boxes also doubled as bench seats and a windbreak. My only criticism is this particular model's size makes handling awkward for one person. There are also no handholds to easily pick it up. What does exist are narrow finger pulls on each end of the box. Otherwise, I recommend this product.
Customer Review: Nice Box, tricky to lock Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice box for use as a truck box because it doesn't rest on the bed rails and tear up the bed. However, it took me awhile to figure out a way to lock it. It seemed to me that every site that sells, including the manufacturer's website,says it's lockable, but there is no indication of how to do that. Further, even if you do figure out how to lock it, how does one secure it to the bed of a truck to prevent someone from just grabbing the whole thing? Well, I came up with a two lock solution. One lock closes secures the box (only a short shank will do). The other acts as a loop to run securing cables through. This is needed because you can't actually run a good strength cable through the lock clasp mechanism. Now I have a nice truck box that won't scratch the sides of the bed and its at least reasonably secure.
Customer Review: Not as big as dimensions! Summary: 2 Stars
Be careful! This is not actually the same size as they claim in the dimension listing. It is much shorter in height than they claim. I measured several times what I intended to store and when it arrived, it was not as described. Be forwarned.
Customer Review: Organization, durability Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased for bro-in-law for use of storing hunting gear. Is great product, can store all items in one place for next year. Durable construction; can stand on the box w/o fear of collapsing. Good product.
Customer Review: Perfect for what I needed... Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for a container that would store one of my telescopes. I took a gamble on this one having enough inside room right to left, and it paid off. my 38 inch (length, not aperture :-)) scope tube fit right in. These ActionPackers are well built, and heavy duty. The only complaint I have is this one probably should have wheels. The right/left carry "handles" for this are hard to use...they aren't deep enough and for something this large, it really is pretty much a two person carry. Maybe some "straps" on the sides would have been better.
