Bmill25 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi guys. My old lunchbox finally died the other day and it was about time. I'm looking for a good solid box that's semi-sealed. I'm a masonry contractor and things can get very dusty. Price isn't a huge issue, because I prefer quality. Any suggestions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 How big are you looking for? Over the years I have had igloo, Coleman, rubber made. They are all pretty comparable. I have tried the soft zippered ones and the zippers seem to get messed up with dust and debris pretty quick. I feel the insulation on the hard plastic type is a bit better too. Especially when you have you box in the sun most of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmill25 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I dont need a big one. Enough for a sandwich a few snacks and maybe a soda. My last one was a zippered box and it sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 This is what everyone seems to use at work. I have one and you can't argue with the price. I just wish it fit a gallon jug of water in it. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-9-Quart-Island-Breeze-Cooler/23735483 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I know this might sound a liitle odd but how about a dewalt tough box or the Ridged box? both have a moisture seal and are well made. I believe a forum member had his coffee set up in a tough box? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Benefit of working in a meat cooler, my whole work space is a fridge lol sorry I can't help you dude... Maybe concert a tough box into a lunch cooler? How bad ass that would be Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 This is my go to. Everything locks together and the coffee thermos locks in tight as well. Just right for a sandwich, drink, bag of chips and some snacks. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I also have a couple of these. They keep stuff plenty cold all day. Costco has them for half the price as Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Takeya-Thermoflask-Insulated-Stainless-Bottle/dp/B0188QB5JW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thru some lunch boxes ..... Finally settled on "The Big Louie" from Duluth Trading... Had it for 2 years now... Working out great for me .has lots of room and storage space for keys etc... A bit pricey .. Around $60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Any type of cooler/ice chest should be fine. Its becoming summer months so I always have mine loaded down with ice and such. Gotta stay hydrated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
