Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So far it gets 5 stars. When it arrived I could tell it was not your fathers ice chest, it has some weight to it and the walls are thick. However I couldn't get it open at all. I kept looking for some other locking device that maybe I missed and found nothing. I tried to pry on it a bit and no luck, finally it dawned on me that being as it come from a different location at the factory or store they were at a high elevation or a warmer area so the air inside was at a lower pressure than were it was delivered. So it had what amounted to a vacuum inside which was keeping it closed very securely. Once I unscrewed one of the drain plugs the air pressure equalized and it opened up instantly. That also shows that when it's closed it's not leaking air which is what you want in an ice chest.
