Smells Like Sulfur

I saw one of these at Tractor Supply on sale for $8.99, and having heard good things about knockoff Chinese ammo cans I couldn't resist grabbing one for that price.
Turns out, there's a reason they're $8.99.
It passed the 10-minute shower test. Sealed up with cans and pieces of paper towel to see if there's a leak, from direct "rain", I even moved the angles around so water would come in at different directions.
Passed. 100%
No water whatsoever inside of the container. That thick gasket looks like it's doing its job.
Now for the real test, submerging. I have never seen an ammo can fail this horrifically this quickly. Within just a few seconds of being dunked I could hear water sloshing around in the bottom, and the towels were so saturated with water I could ring them out.
I give this a 4/10. It would be great for storing things inside of your home where they could potentially get dripped on or a little damp, but if it goes overboard or is submerged everything inside is trashed. It feels very durable, and locks up pretty tightly, That's how it retains its four stars, otherwise it would be none.
