Question - Dry Boxes

[mattdonut]

Its a good idea to keep precious things in bag or boxes



This isn't one of them

 

[Mr Sam]

thats a cracking bit of kit, when you think of all the electronics in most car keys these days

see them hanging off all the surf vans down Newquay, are you still after a T5?

I have nothing that small, sorry.

There are other clip boxes than Tesco you know :

I had one, no idea where from, that you could barely get the lid off when it wasn't clipped. I kept firelighters in it under my BBQ & that never leaked after months outside. Have a look in a proper kitchen shop & you may find better quality ones in the size you're after.

I've always found the tesco clip boxes to be strong and reliable, with regards to the lid and locking it. I just don't think they can take an impact so that kind of makes them unsuitable for this task.

So you just leave these hanging in plain sight?

Stick it anywhere you feel is hidden enough OT, I used to put mine on the suspension if I wanted to hide it. Mostly though it's on a rear towing point. It's much less of an issue in surf car parks as people still stash their keys in bushes etc. so your car is less likely to get jacked than one of those.

There are less bulky versions than the Keypod one if you want to lock it somewhere really fiddly.

Not what you are looking at I know - but on a similar theme - just been looking at this on line - Lowepro's hard case, with insert that works as a backpack

Keypod in action..

They're pretty sturdy & will take a hell of a butchering to get inside as it isn't held in a solid position. Been using this one for a few years now all over the place with no issues at all.

I found the hardside on Ebay... http://goo.gl/KzLOhX

Good idea, but can't believe how much they cost to be honest.

Cheers GAJ, kind of 'hidden in plain sight' really ?

 

[GAJ]

Yeah, outside of general watersports car parks people won't even notice it's there as it's not a common thing. If you reverse park against a wall or fence, then nobody will see it without deliberately looking for it. Which they won't do. I can't recommend them enough for times when you don't want your key getting wet or lost & if you really hide it away, there's no reason why you couldn't leave your car for weeks with the key in there.

You could always get a suitably sized IP65 box from an electrical wholesaler, bit of a faff having to access it with a screwdriver. But they're super water tight, very sturdy and cheap!
