That's awesome. I'll be on the lookout to see if my local store has them. Thanks for the heads up!

What general area/aisle are they in? I'm thinking maybe with automotive stuff?

 

[jbrunel]

Which Costco?

Yeah, it was near there. At my costco they were right next to the extension cords.

Sorry for the picture quality - that's what you get when you're holding a baby!

There is no way these are in Mass !

Probably made in the same Chinese factory as the Walmart ones. The Walmart ones are pretty good quality actually.

My wife works at that store. I guess I'm putting a few of those on the shopping list.

They are made in china. Seemed well built. "Heritage" brand I think.

 

[CaseHardened]

I'll have to ask about them in Danvers.

 

[Terminator03]

Oh, I thought you meant a store other than Costco. I guess the pricing varies by state with Costco?

The cans are cheap enough but wont that ruin the water tightness of it?

I believe some kits come with o-rings. If not, use bathroom caulk.

The latter option doesn't go thru the can itself. It's only holding onto the latch, but requires the hole to be a small one to work.

Couple bucks at HD.

You get a long shackle padlock. Pull up the loop and pop out the lever that opens the can. Run the lock through the hole and the loop. No drilling

One of the guys making these is on nes. I picked up a dozen of them for my 40mm cans (needs one on each side). Love them and the come with the gasket so it's a good seal. Only problem is finding a dozen padlocks keyed alike...

It's easy to flip the bail off with a screwdriver.

I don't really see that as a concern myself, as anyone really wanting to could just steal the whole box and open it at their leisure. Locks are mainly to keep honest people honest, or children from accessing ammunition for safety reasons. Obviously, even the long shackled padlocks can be defeated with a simple snip of bolt cutters.

Really, theyre just mean to comply with a stupid law.

A Massachusetts court ruled that a locked cooler was safe storage. The law is designed to keep guns away from kids, not theft
