Rubbermaid Lock-Its

[+StarBrand]

Op is missing so I'll guess.

 

I just put together a cache with a rubbermaid Lock-it - looks like a great container - passed all of my "sink" test very well - have to see how it holds up in the wild - I'll let you know...

I've never used them, or found any of them yet, but they appear to be essentially a Lock n Lock clone. As long as they have a gasket, they should be fine.

Thanks! Not sure what happened to my OP.

 

I guess I was just asking how good they are and that they looked like they cost less than the Lock & Locks but look to be pretty much the same thing.

I haven't used them myself for caches, but I've found caches made with them and the contents were dry, so they must work okay

Having tested several Faberware at the Dollar General, I'd say that there's more than just a gasket that's required. The lock-down mechanism needs to be made so that the tabs stay down once engaged. True Lock & Locks have a multi-toothed, almost gear-like quality to them that really grab the tabs and hold them down and keep the container closed tight.

 

The "Snapware" that I just check out at Target seem to do a better job than the Farberware, but I'm still suspicious of anything that doesn't have the Lock & Lock brand name on it.
