Plastic Utility Boxes - Durability

How well do your plastic utility boxes hold up. I have a n=bunch of them from Plano, and they are great for organizing things, but they are all getting hard and breaking. The worst ones aren't six months old. I know thats the price I pay for living in the desert, but these are stored in my lockers on the boat. They don't sit out on the deck in the sun.

I've got some 3600s that are 9/10 years old or maybe even older and still latch good and the lids did not buckle like some other brands I have. But I store all mine in the den in the house in a closed storage room. This I'm sure is the difference. I take everything out of the boat, and I mean everything.

I imagine those lockers heat up like a car with closed windows. No, can't expect those $3 utility boxes to fare too well in an oven ;-)

I have the same boxes Bob, some are on 10 seasons. I know I've never had one crack like that.

I have some that don't seem to be affected at all. My spinner bait box seems to be as soft and pliable as when I bought it. I don't think these were $3 boxes though. They were not particularly expensive, but they were more than $3. Bob

My Flambo's are doing the same thing,, I think it's the plastic they use in both of them that is the problem Rodney
