Are the Lock and Locks nestable?

Someone please answer! It's my deciding factor or whether or not to buy.

I have this set and no, they're not nestable - if they're the same size, they stack on each other like in the picture even without the lids on. But with the assorted sizes, I was able to store the smaller ones in larger ones to prevent taking up too much room in my cabinets.

I call BS!

"These Lock & Lock containers have passed the KEMTI’s Bending Test"

3M bends would be 50k minutes of bending at 1 per second, 5k bends at 10 per second - 83 hours of bending.

Again I say, BS!

cart cart cart. $30.29 on amazern, and discussion threads from september and november.

missed the pyrex storage again. there was of course the Br break issue w/ woot off. *sigh* and I always forget about the 9 oclock witching hour for posting new plus items. there are too many things to remember any more. I was so good at the one woot thing............ I'm spinning out of controoollllllllllllllllllll

psst-TT-
can't you just slip me some on the side ? I won't tell !!! just pm me or email me and say hey we put some in your cart go check out now.
and ta da. I will. of course. you'd probably do it and I would be actually doing something other then sitting here online,
so give me a few hours at least to check out , ok ?
what's in it for you, you ask ????
well a cash bribe would only offend you,
how about the glory of knowing you made someone happy ?
oh the 12 pc blue lidded set please. I won't be greedy , but I would take a couple if you can. but one is fine. one is good. thank you .

In for 3 roll-y carts! I got 2 from a Woot-Off in December and have been checking for them to be up again daily. Yayy!

the k-cup box isnt much of a deal, amazon has it for a similar price.

I store almost everything in glass/ pyrex now. Have thrown out most of my plasticware. I love my snapware glass cannisters too! Have 4 sets for storage. Gave a set for a Christmas present and they love it too!

GOOD SIZED NICE PLASTIC BOXS WITH HANDLES. I HAVE ALL MY NICE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS STORED AND LABELED IN MY BACK SHED ALL SYAXKED NICE AND NEAT FOR EBERY SEASON. THEU HAVE HELD UP FOR OVER 8 YRARS AND WORK GREAT.

I own over 100 pieces of lock and lock. Yes, they are nestable. But, you will still have some pieces out by themselves. I can tell you they are easier to store than most sets.

Nestable means that you can put the smaller ones in the larger ones. I have never heard of nesting storage containers that were the same size and fit into one another, it's just mathematically incorrect.

Well no, nestable with regard to plastic storage containers usually means you can place the same sizes into each other. My Rubbermaid set, for example, all fit into one another. You don't have to ignore physics, they simply have curved sides (so the base is slightly smaller than the top) and a lip around the top, so they can be stacked inside one another minus the lids.

Like so (image borrowed)



The Lock/Stop (sold out anyway) appear to be straight sided, so no, they wouldn't be nestable.

Amazon warehouse deal on the glass 19 piece set with lids at the Amazon warehouse for $37. If you have prime that would be free shipping, so $3 less than here.

Hey you! Get in line! I popped in 20min after the sale started and still missed that dang set. I keep trying, but woot doesn't want to sell me that set.

That deal is sold out - the prices are now $51+

In line ?? In line ?? I have been in line. For months..... oh well.....

It seems like we have been down this wootless road before together

Maybe they don't even really have them.
It's just some flying monkey sick humor.

On the chance that they do, maybe we should work together on this?
At least no sense in we both lose out. Here's my plan I posted last woot off or so ago :
guess I should just post bathroom break ! so everyone will know to stick around the glass storage things are coming up.

TT even posted this icon to use :


so now you know what to look for to find them. Good luck. and pick up an extra set or two for me !

Do you think that will work?

GO!!! Pyrex is a GO on woot.com!

Stackables are great. Bought ribbon and ornament units. Just transferred my Xmas stuff from boxes to my new stackables and they fit great. Love how you can stack 2 or 6. I hope this item comes up again.

I purchased this to store my tapes to make hula hoops and the top part was perfect. The bottom part won't snap on easily and is kind of cheaply made. It's alright if you don't stuff too much in there (thats what she said)!
