Rubbermaid Roughneck Clear Storage Totes
Rubbermaid Roughneck Clear Storage Totes are the market leader for heavy-duty, stackable storage thanks to reinforced rims, durable polypropylene construction and clear walls for quick content ID; they command a slightly higher price but deliver a longer in-service life and UV resistance compared with lighter alternatives. Compared to the IRIS Stack & Pull and Sterilite ClearView boxes, Roughneck focuses on maximum load capacity and rugged durability rather than quick drawer access or the lowest cost per unit.

IRIS USA TB-56D Stack & Pull Box
The IRIS TB-56D Stack & Pull Box is best-in-class for modular, easy-access stackable storage with pull-out drawers that let you reach contents without unstacking — a technical advantage for small parts, craft supplies and seasonal items.
