Load It Up - It Can Take It!!

The durability more than makes up for the extra cost. I loaded one up with car camping gear, and wound up buying a second. You can load these Packers up with heavy gear, and you can pack other heavy items on top of them, so it makes packing for a camping trip a lot easier. See the photo with stove, latern, flashlights, plastic sinks, pan, pots etc. I also put a lot more in it than the photo shows.

Action Packer Quality Change
RPMx
3 years ago
Needed a larger size than my existing Action Packers that are over 10 years old. In strapping these down I learned that they started using thinner material for at least the tops. Straps collapsed the edges after a few hours. Not critical, but definitely a quality difference. I just replaced the top with one of my old ones. If not having to securely strap them down, they work as well as the originals.

Quick Delivery - top of the line totes!

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the (2 Pack) Rubbermaid 24 Gal Action Packer Lockable Latch Storage Container, Black with gray lid and red latches yesterday and was very happy with them right out of the box. The dimensions are 26"L x 18.5"W x 17" H and they weigh about 4.5lbs each. I love the waffle top - it rained yesterday and there's no water standing on them today! I travel for work and stay in my RV - they are nice enough looking and durable enough for outside storage.

Incredibly strong and well built

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a tough and very strong storage container, give this a try. This isn't your average container, it is very sturdy, stackable, weather resistant and has latches that not only tightly close the container, it has holes that you can use to lock it to secure the contents. If I could...I would give this 10 Stars. It is that good!

Best storage container for camping/ hunting EVER!!

8 years ago

I purchased four 24 gallon action packers over 15 years ago and now need to replace them. I guess i cant complain I sure got my monies worth. I use them to store my hunting gear, clothes and miscellaneous supplies that need to go with me into the field and then into my garage when the hunt is done. They have held up GREAT and kept my gear dry in the rain and snow and clean while in storage. My son and I have even fabricated racks for the back of our trucks designed to carry 3 action packers to free up bed space for other gear. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these to anyone who hunts or camps.They might seem a bit pricey but worth every penny.

Better than most

3 years ago

Lets start with the good. I purchased the box to start creating grab and go boxes depending on what adventure I was off too. This box has a lot of great features. Its sturdy and stacks well, the latches clamp down nice and tight and they say they are lockable. Now the bad. Like most rubbermaid products this warps easily and while the lid still locks it doesn’t make a tight seal. I added some rubber sealing tape to make the seal water resistance but waterproof these are not. I bought locks to lock the boxes however the way the box is made you need super tiny locks to fit through the holes the boxes have. Not fully what I was looking for but does the job well enough.

Broken out of the box

6 years ago

I had to have the bin ordered to the store I shop at and I took it home in the sealed cardboard box. It appeared fine at home and I loaded it with some items. When I went to move the bin I found a hole on the backside (left side) of the hinge. It appears the plastic is very thin for a product that is promoted as a heavy duty product. I didn't cut the box or tape with a knife. The box was not damaged when I picked up the bin at the store either. It means there is poor quality control at rubbermaid during the production process and/or the products are becoming inferior.

No, I do not recommend this product

Best tote around!

6 years ago

I’ve had one of these for 10 years. It’s beeb used and abused and is still as good as new. I did a car camping/hiking trip to Colorado this summer where five guys all lived out of my crew cab truck with camper shell for a week. Each traveler was required to keep all of thier gear in a tote and their backpack. No loose gear in the truck. I was amazed at how clean and organized we all were able to stay through the week! The totes made it possible. I was the only one with an Action Packer and it was the best. They are hard to attain now days so the other guys couldn’t find them. But I decided to grab a few more of my own for general use in the years ahead!

Drove 90 miles to pick this up to save $80 in shipping. It was worth the drive. The 24 gallon exceeded my storage expectations.

For the back of my jeep

11 years ago

I bought a 24 gallon and 2- 8 gallon Action Packers for the back of my Jeep Liberty. I keep winching and recovery equipment, road safety equipment, first aid kit, blankets, rain gear, hand tools, and 12v air compressor. All this stuff was just too heavy for the Rubbermaid Roughneck totes. The AP's are perfect for the heavy stuff with strong bottoms and latching lids. There is still some room left with the 3 Action Packer, enough to reuse 2 of the 10 gallon Roughneck totes for lighter stuff like jackets and blankets. Rubbermaid rocks!
