This is one of the coolest things I've ever owned. Only thing is I wish you made a version that was wider without being gigantic. You know, so you could fit your Tupperware/Rubbermaid container without having to put it on its side. That's why I got this model but it could be wider and shorter.

Absolutely perfect

Awesome lunch box for a old coal miner

Best aluminum box money can buy

The Original 10"

This lunch box is not only a reliable companion for outdoor labor but also a timeless piece that combines utility with enduring charm. Highly recommended for those who value durability and practicality in their daily tools.

We purchased lunchboxes as branded Christmas gifts for the crew and they were thrilled. Thank you L.MAY MFG!

I'm loving this lunch box. Its built like a tank, but light enough to carry easily and hold just the right amount of stuff for a perfect lunch or cup of coffee.

My son said he loves his new lunchbox he received from us for his birthday, His words were that it is “strong, robust and light”. It is not his first one from your company and he is very pleased that he received another one. Also we just walked into the shop on LaSalle one morning to check it out and walked out with the lunchbox. We were served by a lovely young lady.

The ultimate Sudbury gift for that very special person!

Overall, I’m extremely happy with this lunchbox. It is extremely sturdy and surprisingly light and looks just as good with leather satchel as I’d sure it does with a hard hat. My main “issues” with it have more to do with my own lack of thought than the product itself. Those who read the listing properly will already know this, but for those of us with bad spatial visualisation, this lunchbox is not very deep, which makes it difficult to find tupperware that fit. As of writing, I only have one lunch-sized container that fits inside and most of the other containers I’ve looked at have been too wide to fit. If you’re a sandwich or thermos person, this most likely won’t be a problem, but it’s something to be aware of.
I got my lunchbox engraved with my initials (because why not) and while I don’t regret it, I wish the website had some sort of visualiser so that you could see where the engraving would be and how large it would be.
The latches are a bit loose and I have had one pop open while I was on the metro, fortunately without any disasters. I’ve dealt with this by making sure to carry the latch side inward and have had no other problems, but it would be better if the latches were stiffer.

As a little girl, I watched my dad set off each day with his L. May lunchpail, and the warmth of those moments has stayed with me. I recently purchased this lunchbox as a gift, as I already own several sizes myself. For me, it’s more than just a lunchbox; it’s a symbol of comfort and love that I want to share with others. I hope this gift brings the same feelings of security and nostalgia to someone else’s life. Their durability will outlast even me, and I look forward to handing mine down to my children someday.

Amazing quality! Got it as a gift to my brother. He had a smaller one as a kid, same quality even 40 years later. He was so happy, and covered it in stickers and fit everything he needs and more. Love these lunch boxes!
