Will has four Harbor Freight metal .50-caliber ammo cans and primarily stores them indoors. What he likes most is the price: Harbor Freight carries them cheaper than most other places and puts them on sale from time to time. He finds them great for keeping ammo and any other small gear organized.

The seal is good — what he would expect — and he has never had water or moisture issues. The latch and hinge work great, and you can slide the lid sideways off the box to get it out of the way during use. His cans have not had gasket or lid-alignment differences between them. The label came off fine with no sticky residue. They live a hard life and are holding up well. His verdict: Good.

For gear that needs foam padding, like his rifle magnifiers, Will uses Harbor Freight’s Apache 1800 weatherproof case, which he also rated Good.
