I have been buying Akro Mils totes. Normally they run about $18 each, but
you can occasionally find them on sale for as low as $13 each. I have only
broken 1 (dropped on a concrete floor with almost 90lbs of tools in it),
but other than that they have been great. They come in a variety of sizes
and colors if that is important to you. I usually just buy whatever color
is cheapest.
