I don't think I've seen those around here... Here in the States we're pretty much limited to what Wal-Mart thinks we need. Thankfully there is Amazon now too.
LOL that's fine by me... 100 times better than my ratty old cardboard boxes the chains come in!! They are fairly durable, are they not?Just so you know they may look waterproof but they are not there rain proof but don't submerge in water

Thanks guys, I knew there had to be something better than the "throwaway" Glad plastic containers.
Just wondering what you guys store your spare chains in? The oem box? Tupperware? What works best?On

Milk bones and bar oil... yum! Perfect for Dogwoods!!!Tried a lot of things. ZipLock freezer bags seem to be the easiest to use in tool boxes or chainsaw cases.
I found that a lot of dog treats, nuts, snack foods, etc., now come in a heavier mylar/plastic bag with a resealable closure that might hold up better, if you don’t mind your chains smelling like jerky.
A little harder to mark, but really hard to tear.

I have been using these for 10 years never had anything break other than the whole container when's my firewood was thrown in the back of the tray and I forgot ID left the container in there and a lump of wood belted it real hard .Found them at Wally World! But, they only had "Wild Thang Green"...
I do Ziploc as well but use painters tape and marker. Note chain specs 33 / 72 and 33 / 84 Chisel or semi and note of amount of wear. Chains near end I use up on crappie stumps etc.This seems to be my method at the present time. Kind of roll up the chain and squeeze out the air. Quart ziploc freezer bags have a nice white area that can be written on and eliminates the problem of the scrap of cardboard or paper getting in with the writing flipped toward the chain. Quite convenient to take the chains into the field. If they are not used they are still as clean as before.
Then various containers plastic coffee containers of the 280 cup size or blow molded 1.7 gallon planting containers, or similar container, for different pitch and possibly gauge as well for one pitch. These generally can nest unless they are basically full, can even stick in an appropriate file and guide if desired.
