Has a hole in the bottom

I got this to soak my pool cartridge filters. I normally get a cheap one from Dollar General but over the years those have fallen in quality and the lids that are designed to just snap in place won't stay on. Got this because of the locking handles. I also use the lids of these totes to power wash the dirty filters. I noticed the lid has holes on the edges meaning when I power wash the filters the water will drain out of the lid when it's upside down which would be perfect. So after filling this...

Don't buy if using in cold weather

I bought 4 different size storage bins to use to hold horse tack items outside the Barn we have our horse boarded at. The bins are stored outside his stall and not in direct sun nor direct rain. The barn overhangs where they are at. It was 18 degrees outside late yesterday and I went to unlatch one of the lids. The lid shattered in my hand, and I think it was due to the cold. It cut 3 of my fingers when I was opening it. 2 of which probably needed stitches but used Adhesive Bond derma to close ...

No Lids. Rude employee

This was the worst online shopping and store pickup experience that I have ever had. The ordering process is pretty straightforward. Picking up also seemed easy enough. However, the associate that assisted me had to go back to get the two lids that are supposed to come with the totes. He comes back and informs me that they are out of lids for the totes that I purchased. I could tell he was disappointed to tell me. I said hey it's not your fault. He said I could check what they had in stock bu...

stores should make it easier for customers in orde

Not good when the item was bought and I went home the clip that seals the lid was missing. When I went to the store instead of doing the exchange, I had to get credit then repurpose it, but when I went back the item that I returned to lady upfront, put it back there so when I picked it up, it was missing a clip. I’ve been in retail for 35 years and it was a horrible experience as a customer that comes to Lowe’s couldn’t be treated any worse.

Great little tub. Sturdy and stackable.

I absolutely love these totes. They are small enough to handle and fill so that they aren't terribly heavy. I hate to admit it, but as I've aged, I can't lift and carry the big totes I used to fill up with all my different holiday stuff. We started purchasing these in 2019 and have changed most all of our bigger containers out. True, it takes more of them and they aren't cheap. But, they stack one on another and are easier to handle.

Craftsman 5gal plastic storage containers/totes.

IMO, these Craftsman versions of the typical plastic storage-containers/totes are the best, as they seem stronger and stack more securely. The other ones (black w/ yellow lids) are good also, but these Craftsman totes are better, so when I need more totes, I get these. I use them for storing stuff on shelves in a storage room, and when moving -- as I move fairly frequently using U-Haul cargo trailers -- these Craftsman totes stack nicely inside the trailers. I use the smaller totes (5gal/20gal)...

Great Storage Tote With Intermittent Problems

I really like these Craftsman's totes but they have a serious quality issue at their factory. It takes me several different trips to Lowes to purchase just a few of these totes. Most of the time, the totes are deformed (bottoms are bowed downwards or the side gusseting is warped). I'm not sure what the problem is, but is appears that they are in a hurry to remove the finished tote(s) from the mold (i.e., the thermoplastic is still hot and can easily warp before cooling). I would like to give the...

Stinks

I can't believe all of the positive reviews. The tote seems well made-yes, but has one of the worst chemical smells ever. I wouldn't keep them in the house, and don't put anything in them that can absorb odors. I put labels on six of them and got a headache from the smell. I really can't believe these are being sold. It's that bad.

Be sure to get the lid for the tub

I like how sturdy the tub is. The only problem I had was when I purchased the tub, there was no lids available. One employee finally found them. The kids were across the aisle on the very top rack. The problem was there was only one forklift available. The second was getting worked on. The running forklift was busy loading some trailers. So I never did get a lid for my tub!
