## Description

354010 - WATERPROOF STOWAWAY 3-17 ADJ COMPARTMENTS CLEAR W/BLK LATCHES

Review: Waterproof and sturdy - I bought this because I was putting together a camping/outdoor bag and didn't really know how I wanted to lay it out. I knew for sure that I wanted a few things (fire starting kit, a few camp supplies) to be waterproof, and I saw this box for a reasonable price so I bought it to try. I'm glad I did. In the past, gallon Ziploc bags have been my go-to for keeping things dry. They work well, they're inexpensive, and they're not rigid so you can tuck them into irregular little pockets of space inside a bag. They have their place. But for a fire starting kit, I wanted something really durable, buoyant in water, and rigid enough so that my equipment wouldn't get damaged by a tumble. Fire can quickly become critical if something goes wrong on a hike or camping trip so I needed my kit to be clean, dry and undamaged when the time came to use it. This kit holds a couple of boxes of matches, a butane lighter, a small Fresnel lens (way better than a magnifying glass for starting fires), a piece of fatwood, and a few cotton balls soaked in candle wax and sealed in small Ziploc bag. If I have this kit, I can get a fire going anywhere that there's fuel. (And yes, I keep a backup butane lighter in my pocket in case this kit gets lost, but I really hope it doesn't come to that.) I liked this box so much that I bought another and use it for a small last-ditch repair kit. It holds duct tape, 550 cord, a new single-edge razor blade, and a small, unopened tube of cyanoacrylate glue. The tape has been removed from its roll and wound around a small, flat plastic sheet so it will fit inside this box. The razor blade is taped to the lid so I can always find it. I may add a couple of sewing needles, some thread, and some fishing line to this kit as I still have some room in the case. I've also used this case to keep my cellphone and car keys dry when I wade in rivers and lakes. It works really well for that, though you have to be careful how you put the keys in so that they don't scratch your phone's screen. There's enough room to include my driver's license and credit card as well, but it's small enough that it will fit in a (large) pocket. Yeah, it feels bulky, but my keys, phone, and cards are my most critical gear (can't get home without them) and I like to keep them on my person instead of in my bag. The clasps on this box are somewhat hard to close. This is a requirement for keeping it waterproof-- all that pressure is needed to keep it tightly sealed-- but if you have small or weak hands (or if you're injured or in shock), you may find it difficult to use. On the other hand, it is VERY waterproof. I tested it by closing only the center clasp, leaving the other two undone, and dunking it underwater. Even with only the center clasp holding the lid shut, this box remained waterproof in a foot or so of water. It probably wouldn't work if the larger clasp came undone but I like that there's some redundancy built into the case. If you camp or hike, a box like this will probably have a dozen different uses. For the price, it's a good idea to pick one up and spend some time thinking about how to use it to keep some critical gear safe. This summer I'll be wading in some lakes and rivers, and I'll be using one of these boxes to keep my stuff dry.
Review: The Good, The Bad, The Facts - Use Case: - I have a bad habit of losing things and ripping the house apart until I find them, resulting in a lot of cleanup. In an effort to appease my adhd I try to put everything in labeled containers. This particular item I bought for organizing small parts. I want to ensure they don't spill onto the floor or get lost. The Good: - It's a tough container. The plastic is thicker than most you'll find out there and it can take a beating without falling apart or cracking. - The latches are solid. 3 substantial latches clamp down tightly keeping the contents secure. They won't come undone at the worst moment or if you fumble the container and it takes a spill. Other containers have little plastic latches that aren't secure by any means and can pop open at the worst time. - Hinges are independently molded with the top and bottom halves and can also take a hit without breaking. There are many containers out there that don't have a real hinge and it's just creased plastic that will eventually split with repeated use. Others have tiny plastic hinges that can crack and snap off easily. - Waterproof is a nice plus. Inner seal keeps your items dry or it also keeps oils and dirt in. If you have something like oiled metal parts, you don't have to worry about a leak that might stain furniture, clothes, backpack, etc. - It floats. Because it's air tight if you drop it in the water it will float and you won't lose your items. - Single compartment. I like that this has a single compartment. It seems like the majority of containers are divided which can make it difficult to find one for odd sized items. - See through. Know what's inside with a glance. The Bad: - Honestly there are none with this container that I've ever encountered. I've been using different sizes for years with no issues and I've never broken one. The Summary: - This is the go to container if you have something you want to keep safe, secure and dry. Whether that is small parts, small electronics like a power bank or portable hard drive, or just a random item you need to be able to easily find and don't want to lose at the bottom of a bag. On the go or stacked on a shelf, these are a great choice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality
*by L***. on August 14, 2026*

Compact, good box to throw some essentials in and closes and seals perfectly. Easy open and can use for many types of fishing with the divider options. Won't beat a small box for the price.
