Post Marine tool box?
My box finally broke; the seal was not much good at keeping out water. I need a low profile, more waterproof/resistant box to hold tools and essentials (spare plugs,etc.). Anybody find anything worthwhile?

I use ammo cans. The plastic ammo boxes made by Plano do pretty well too.

I've been using the orange boxes academy sells, very similar to an ammo box.

Actually...this right here. http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/action- ... atid=12506

I use to have an ammo can on my four wheeler, but the insides always got wet. Probably a bad can. Haven't had any problems with this orange one though, going on 3 years. They sell several profiles and come in white or orange.

I don't know how big you need.
But I use these

They are sealed very good.
They also sell bigger ones too.

Thank you! rehabert, that one is just about the same as I had and it did last a while but the locking tabs broke and the seal went to hell- lot of heat and humidity down here too. That price is right too!
