Is this box waterproof?

I wouldn't call it waterproof at all. It's basically the same thing as a large tool box. Water won't pour in when closed, but would not consider it waterproof.

I would say yes. I attached it to the four wheeler, it's been on there for about 2 years, riding around in the rain, snow, sleet, and have gotten inside after and my contents were dry, it's got a lip on the box that goes up inside the lid like a truck tool box, and it has thick weather stripping under the lid for a tight snug fit to the box, lid does not rattle either. Hope this helps!

Honestly I cannot answer that question as I am using it as storage in an SUV not subjected to weather at all. Sorry.

We live in FL and get lots of rain. The box is in our back yard under a large palm tree and we have not had any water get into the box. As another person said make sure when you put it together all parts snap tightly in place. Hope this helps.

No it is not waterproof. Most of the time the receiver box is the part that is waterproof.

I have one. Although I wouldn't call it waterproof it is in a secure plastic box.

It is pretty waterproof. The lid has closes down over the sides so you won't get rain in that way, BUT if the lid isn't closed down correctly - as in you just let it drop - then it can let rain in it. It's a pretty flimsy box, if you put it on an uneven surface, the box will twist out of square, and you'll have to work to seat the lid correctly when you close it. That's what I think has caused some of the other reviewers to claim it isn't waterproof. Also when you open it water that puddles on lid will drip into the box, so not good for winter storage where there will be lot of ice and snow sitting on the lid. It is pretty waterproof.

It would be fairly weather resistant as long as it stays upright. There is no waterproof Seal between the lid and box so if it is left upside down water could enter.

If your asking if you can submerge this box, no the lid will leak. If your asking if it keeps the rain off your tools, yes it does. The only problem when using it in the rain is that the recessed portion fills up with water. Its a good box for the price, the side latches are weak, plan on them breaking within a few years if using daily.

yes, it is waterproof. Mine is outside on the patio and exposed to all weather.

This box isn't heavy; I screwed it directly to the siding on my porch. I wouldn't put it where it can get wet. (FYI - I've gotten compliments on it; plus it holds much more than the typical mailbox.)

I think so. We've had some pretty hard winds and rain and it's been great! It is under the edge of our camper awning but everything else would be soaked and the box never leaked.

yes the coil is water proof but the box is not i only put my detector about a foot in the water and keep it upright so the water does not draw up the cord into the box .

No, I do not not believe this is waterproof. Since the Smashbox is closed with only a zipper. I have, on occasion, put it in a ziploc bag, so the moisture from a hot shower does not get in to the speakers. It muffles it only a little bit. I hope this info helps you in your decision.

I don't have mine installed outside . . . I believe it is made out of steel which might eventually rust? It would probably be OK if you put it outside, so long as it was under some kind of covering (roof, etc.) to protect from rain. Also the box is intended to be installed with the slot on top . . so that is also a consideration . . . again probably ok if it is installed under a covering of some sort.

It is NOT waterproof. As far as leaving outdoors, I would not think that would be a problem. The top fits covering over the sides of the tops of the box so in a boat it should be ok as long as it is not submerged in water.

A good question!! Unfortunately I have not tested to see if it was waterproof. I am sorry.

It is made of plastic so I would think it would be waterproof. the drawers close tight but the only way to know for sure is to let it sit out in a pouring rain.

Yes, it's completely waterproof. I've used it for two years and have had no mildew or leaks.
