Rubbermaid Roughneck️ 40 Gallon Storage Totes, Pack of 2, Durable Stackable Storage Containers with Hinged Lids, Nestable Plastic Storage Bins for Tools, Toy Storage, Grey and Dark Indigo Metallic

The Rubbermaid Roughneck 40-Gallon tote is a reliable choice for unconditioned spaces like attics or sheds. Built with high-density polyethylene, it is designed to maintain its structural integrity in temperatures ranging from 0 ∘ F to 120 ∘ F. A notable feature of this model is its "impact recovery"—the plastic is engineered to dent and pop back into place rather than shattering if it is dropped or struck.

The hinged lid is designed for convenience, ensuring the lid is never misplaced in a busy work area. This hinge uses a built-in plastic pin system which avoids the rust issues associated with metal hardware. However, it is important to ensure the lid is fully snapped into place before stacking, as an overstuffed bin can put stress on the hinge and prevent a proper seal against pests.

• Extreme temperature resilience for year-round storage.
• Hinged lid for easy one-handed access to tools or toys.
• Nestable design for efficient storage when empty.

Specifications suggest limiting stacks to three units high to protect the lower hinges from lateral stress. While the indigo metallic finish is aesthetically pleasing, it may show white stress marks more clearly than the standard grey version if the plastic is bent or pressured.

If you require a larger, non-hinged version for bulkier soft goods, the Roughneck 50-Gallon Tote provides even more volume with the same temperature-resistant material.
