Great item!
By J. L. Acker Jr.
I bought one of these to store some of my ammo in, a few weeks ago. It is well made and durable. But as good as Amazon is, they are way overpriced on this one item. I paid less than 50.00, and that was regular price at one of the major home improvement chains. I want another one, so c'mon guys, go check the competition...LOL!

Stanley's Contribution to the Afghanistan War
By Thomas R. Orr
I have been in Afghanistan for a year and these trunks are in common use throughout the theater to haul heavy battle gear. We come here with 4-5 seabags full of gear. The "gouge" (tip) is to use these Stanley tool boxes. These cases are great for avoiding the tortuous and infamous bag drag from one plane to the next. Their handles and rollers help (although the handle could be longer).Some things to be aware of:(1) the other reviews are correct that the latches are way too sharp and have sharp edges that can cut hands and knees - have cut my knees twice because I left the latch partially undone;(2) some airlines won't except and/or charge more. Alaska Airlines shipped the case with no charge despite being oversized and overweight. United Airlines was just the opposite. The case by itself weighs 30 pounds. Commercial airlines limit baggage weight to between 50-70 pounds so that means you can only stow about 20-40 pounds of gear if travelling commercially. You may also get oversize charges;(3)many of us mail these back home so also must deal with USPS weight limits and charges. USPS SAM (space available mail) is the cheapest but a fully loaded box will cost you about $65 to $70.00 going back to the states;(4)Mailing from the states to Afghanistan is more expensive. Amazon's prices are likely high due to the shipping cost - to send a virtually empty one of these to my base in Afghanistan cost $101.70 dollars - hardly worth it. I argued for awhile with my local post office but they could have cared less about where I was headed and trying to find a cheaper way. USPS is just not very military friendly stateside.(5)These things are really great for lugging gear between military duty stations and while travelling on military air - be good to your battle buddies though and don't load them with up to 100 lbs in gear as you (and they) will have to load and unload them on trucks and airplanes.Still looking for the ideal solution to the "bag drag" - another good alternative is the sea bags/duffel bags with wheels. Shop around though and find one big enough and sturdy enough. The one at Tactical Tailor is very sturdy but too expensive at $400 per bag.

Solid and Available for Less
By Pike Creek
This is a real nice box. Bought it to replace a 24-gal Rubber Maid Action Packer I use for deployments. The Rubber Maid traveled thousands of miles with me but one of the latches never worked properly (poorly moulded) and I want something with wheels. The Stanley looks much more solid and I expect it will hold up well. The latches are a little sharp but I can smooth the edges in five minutes with a Dremel tool. Here's the key thing: Previous reviewers are correct as of Jan '11. You can buy this box for $39.99 at Lowe's. The model number isn't the same there, but search on "Stanley" at the Lowe's site and find the right picture (wheels will be black instead of yellow).
