Brute Tote Storage Container With Lid, 20-Gallon, Gray,

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Storage Solution - Built to Last! I purchased the Rubbermaid Commercial Brute Tote 2-pack and couldn't be happier with my decision. These are hands-down the sturdiest storage containers I've ever owned. The heavy-duty construction feels incredibly solid, and the ergonomic handles make carrying even heavy loads comfortable and safe. What impressed me most is how well the lids snap on - they create a secure seal that keeps everything protected from dust, moisture, and pests. I've been using them for seasonal storage, and they stack perfectly without any wobbling, even when loaded up. The 20-gallon capacity is ideal for everything from holiday decorations to camping gear. The ribbed design adds extra strength, and the rounded corners make cleaning a breeze. These totes are clearly built for commercial use, which means they're more than tough enough for home storage needs. If you're tired of flimsy plastic bins that crack and break, invest in these. They're worth every penny and will last for years. Highly recommended!

I'm always looking for ways to improve on things and in this case, transport and storage of my carpentry tools to and at my camp. I bought this 20 gallon Brute tote to use for that purpose and it has not disappointed. It was a GOLD box deal at @ $22.00 from it's normal $29.00 price.This Rubbermaid product is not the typical tote that is flexible and flimsy. This tote is on steroids. It's composition is more along the lines of heavy duty plastic/resin composition, than it is of a rubber, soft plastic material. This thing is rigid, with a very well designed lid that fits snug and completely overlaps the tub part all the way around the perimeter preventing any rain, or other water, snow etc from entering. Of course if this unit was completely submerged under water my guess it would take on water, but when is that going to happen, who's going to do that. Then again they said the Titanic was unsinkable. The handles on this are committed to secure the top lid to the bottom portion and snap in place with authority.The bottom was formed with raised ribbing not only for reinforcement but to hasten wear. You can load this thing up with heavy objects, and in my case tools and the bottom is not going to sag or drop out. The handles on the lid are "through" type and not just lift style, and are situated as to not allow water penetration into the compartment area. These units are stackable, and I believe the top lid would hold another loaded tote but I always use a piece of plywood or OSB placed on the lower totes lid overlapping the lid by a couple inches, then set the top tote on it, to evenly disperse the weight around the perimeter edge of the tote where there is greater strength, if I'm going to store totes for long periods. When I did receive this tote from Amazon in their unbelievable speedy fashion I was overly impressed with the quality and construction. I needed another one ASAP that day and was able to locate them at one of the big box store that is not orange but blue/grey, okay Lowes for $24.00, $2 more than I paid on the gold box deal. This tote would well serve tradesmen and campers alike who like to keep their possessions dry. Keep in mine that there is no molded locking hole to secure a lock which is kind of redundant as a thief would steal the entire unit anyway. I bet that if you were really bored in the winter you could use this for one huge single portion ice cube and it wouldn't crack, as the walls are pitched about 10 degrees. You would just have to find a Manhattan glass large enough. One suggestion for those of you looking to set up natural spring (water) flow systems. This unit with slight modifications with holes drilled, incoming, outgoing and overflow with bulkhead fittings can be modified and used as a "spring box" which is set up within feet of the spring pipe (which is the incoming pipe), then an out going pipe to the larger collection/distribution tank, as I have done.The secure fitting lid prevents any outside contamination of any kind and at the same time allows for removal to conduct maintenance on the unit. No need to spend almost $200 on ones from companies that sell "spring boxes". Buy this unit you won't be sorry. Good Luck..Tom W.

These are not your mother's storage tubs. These tubs kick ass!! I've bought a few dozen so far and have a few more dozen to go -- no kidding. The image attached shows a few of them -- they're in a staging area in the basement waiting for assignment to one attic or another. I have a larger, single file stack, in the garage. They stack up very sturdily -- even an empty tub at the bottom can support full tubs, above. Do you know how tubs crack and flake after a few years of going through the summer/winter cycle? Not these babies!! Hot, cold, wet, dry . . .they give a rip for nothin' -- they're here to store stuff and stack and, although that's about all they do, they do that perfectly. They hold a lot, have pretty square corners, and are super tough, durable, and stackable. I suggest you buy more than you think you'll need because . . . once you get going on storing stuff, you won't want to stop. Yes, they're not the cheapest. That's my point. These tubs kick ass.

Hate tubs but this is the most superior tub of all time.

I bought three of these totes for storage of my extra stuff. I bought this partially because of the external design. It looks simple, sturdy, and well-constructed. I thought it would blend in well above a white kitchen, and it does, but it doesn't store much. Take a minute to look at the design in the product photo. See those side corners that extrude out slightly, and that top cover that is cut in? Those things may look good but they alter the inside storage structure. You basically get an upside down trapezoid space to store things in. This is good and bad. Bad, if you're a little OCD and want to fill out as much space as possible (a rectangular cube being the best shape for storage), and good, because the design allows you to stack totes on top of each other. The handles are well-built and sturdy. The plastic is thick and heavy, and unlikely to break unless you drop it with stuff. It's water-resistant in the sense that if you have this in a storage unit that happens to be leaking, water won't get into these containers—unless you have a flood. It closes with an audible snap on each side so you know it's closed. There is a larger Rubbermaid Commercial Brute Tote with Lid, 20-Gallon version which looks to hold more, and I might get that later. I couldn't fill this as much as I would like so I just tossed some random shaped objects in them and called it a day. I like the design, and I wish it could fit more stuff for all the physical space it takes up.

Great sturdy and robust storage

Got a garden to harvest? 400lbs of meat to turn into sausage? Temporary storage for your pond fish? These are perfect . (Wash between uses.... or don't I'm not your mother. )
