by Harbor Freight is having their “parking lot” sale this weekend both in-store and online. While I don’t buy critical tools from them, they are OK for occasional use tools as well as some odds and ins. One of those odds and ins is their 30- caliber size plastic ammo cans. Officially they are called the ammo dry box and they do have a rubber gasket to seal out moisture.
They are on sale this weekend for $2.95 each. I just bought 10 of them to store brass by caliber and to store bullets for reloading. I am finding that I as I pick up a box of bullets here and a partial box there that I’m losing track of what I have.
Are they the best quality that is out there? Probably not but they will, as economists say, satisfice and they will do the job for which they are intended by me.
I have similar boxes at Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops for upwards of $19 each. Are they worth that much more than the Harbor Freight ones? I doubt it.
If I planned to store and carry really heavy items, I’d probably go for the used GI metal ammo cans. I have a number of those so I think the plastic ones will do.
