DRiBOX Small IP55 Weatherproof Outdoor Electrical Connection Box 25.5 x 14.1 x 10.2cm – Power Cord Enclosure for Christmas Lights, Timers, Extension Cables, Leads, Reels, Transformers (Small, Green)

Good box for keeping the electrics dry during 'outdoor lights season'. It's nice and big too, so you can get a fair bit in there (smaller boxes are okay, but getting a socket, a timer, some sort of splitter and then those long transformers all lights seem to have these days into them can be a squeeze - not so with this. One thing I'd say... the lid has two ways to stick down. The first is with the side handles which sort of clip over the top of it, holding it down. The second is some little lugs which clip over the bottom of the rim of the base. Those little lugs are nigh on impossible to fully clip down though. Thankfully, the simpler side handles seem to be more than adequate. Note also there's no way to 'lock' the box, even against an opportunist prankster/family member. All in all though, nice and big, easy to use, very much water proof against the inevitable rain we've had for the last few days.

Brought for all the Christmas lights, plenty of room for a four plug extension lead and all the plugs/adapters. Really sturdy box with a clip down lid, kept everything dry. Will come in handy for the garden in the summer. Pleased with my purchase.

A good idea, but not very well made (or not well quality-controlled or both) and expensive for what they are, patent notwithstanding - essentially a slightly fancy plastic box. I got one as a Warehouse Deal, and it arrived with one of the insulation bits missing for the cable. Am sure Amazon will sort it out for me, but don't see how it could've come loose.. The others are stuck down quite firmly, you'd have trouble removing them, so guess this left the factory like this. For this price, you'd think they could afford decent quality control.. I paid a bit over £6 and it then cost around £7 new. Now they're nearly £9.50, which I think excessive.. They also do medium and large sizes (even more expensive).. They are reasonably sturdy, though, and will probably last a long time. The hinges used to secure it come loose sometimes, but only if they're open, once it's shut, they're secure. The lid is reasonably easy to open and close, although the clips can be a bit stiff. The inside available space on this size is 22 cm long, 11 cm wide and 9 cm deep, although not all of this space is fully available: there are 2 square pillars in the middle of each short side, on which the insulation material for the cables sits. These are around 3 cm square, so you've only got 16 cm length fully usable inside. Please see pictures, I've probably not explained that well. The outside measurements are 27 cm length, 15 cm width and 10 cm depth, with the lid attached. It's not big enough for a 4-gang extension socket, although a timer for a seed heating mat and the socket for the heat mat just about fit inside - I'll reluctantly pay the price for another one for this purpose. I bought this for a 2 plug socket on my outside extension lead, which fits easily with plugs in both sockets. If there is such a thing, a 3-gang extension socket would probably just about fit with plugs in it, although haven't tried this. The position of the cable feeds are not ideal in my view. If they'd put them in the corner of the short sides, or one (or better yet 2) on the long side, it would be far easier to feed the cables through and would've been more space efficient. As they are, if you're using a normal extension lead, you have to bend the cables for the devices around in quite a tight bend, which will surely lead to wear of the cables over time - don't think cables are meant to be bent that much. With the medium and large size boxes, the cable feeds are on the long side, which is better, but not ideal, either. One cable feed would be better on the short side of the box. As it's got a US patent, I imagine they're not designed with British sockets in mind. I've only used mine outside once so far, when it wasn't raining much, but am sure it's fully waterproof, or would be, with all the insulation pads. The entry points for cables are cushioned from above and below with silicone pads, to give a tight seal. It's not very heavy, so if it's being left in place permanently, might need to be weighed down. They're very handy for anything electrical outside, and would recommend and buy again, despite the price and shoddy quality control. Other brands cost just as much or more - some come with extension leads, though, so might work out a better price if you need one.

Very good quality and quick delivery

used it to house my electrics for my pond pump and filter. We have had some heavy rain and in-between I've checked and so far there as been no ingress of water, so its doing its job perfectly. it seems to be strongly made so should be durable, but only time will tell. good value for money.

Excellent value for a very reliable and effective outdoor electrical dry box. We already had one of these which has been in use with various mains electic tools over the last 4 + years so we were happy to buy a second one to take to our caravan to extend the reach of our new Ninja mains powered BBQ. This is a much more cost effective way of safely using mains devices without having to replace with expensive battery ones or get outdoor sockets installed especially for occasional use. Highly recommend.

Works a treat. I’ve got my charger attached to my camper on the drive and it lives comfortably in here. Good sealed box nice and sturdy.

Quick delivery, fitted my caravan extension lead connectors. Is it robust - not really my kitchen plastic boxes are better, will it last - the hinges are attached to a thin plastic rail that bends when you clip it over the lid and looks as if it could break easily if you remove the lid regularly, does it damage the leads - yes if you insert into the cable clips leaving an 8mm dia cable with grip marks (using clips is optional though, so I found better without). With cables fitted the box didn't tip over that easyWill an IP55 rating satisfy most caravan sites - yes, unless they don't allow multiple lead connection.

Perfect fit for our application.

Die Box benutze ich für meine Weihnachtsbeleuchtung. Sie ist perfekt von der Größe her für eine Verlängerung mit Netzteilen und Kabelüberlängen. Der Rand des Deckels ist weit nach unten gezogen, damit kein Wasser in die Box eindringen kann. Ich hatte die Box 6 Wochen im ungeschützten Außenbereich und der Innenraum war wirklich trocken trotz Sturms und sehr starkem Regen. Für mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung!

The seal compound at the cable entry/exit points is amazingly squishy :) :( I accidentally discarded the cable retention bits so it's a little fiddly to close while keeping the cables centered in the seal area... don't throw them out!

Das ist bereits meine zweite Box. Zwischendurch habe ich andere Modelle ausprobiert, aber keine war so geräumig wie diese. Sie bietet genug Platz für eine größere Steckerleiste und sogar für mehrere klobige Stecker. Die Box ist absolut wasserdicht – beide stehen bei mir komplett ungeschützt draußen und funktionieren trotzdem seit langem völlig zuverlässig. Wenn ich wieder eine brauche, dann definitiv erneut dieses Modell.

Well designed product, sturdy and strong plastic. Purchased from Creation et Design Electrique. Even there is one small piece missing, they sent it right away after contacting them. One of the great merchant that is not handled by Amazon directly.
