I've got a couple of these in various sizes and really like them. They do a good job for light to medium weight stuff for the price. I use one for a range box to hold my black powder shooting supplies, and the other I keep gun cleaning tools and supplies in. They come in a variety of sized, have pretty solid locks, hinges and handles, but they're still plastic so I wouldn't buy one to hold my heaviest tools. And, that $47.59 price is absolutely an inflated MSRP that the box never actually sold for.
I was looking into the MTM Muzzle Loader Dry Box, I don't know if you've looked into that or if anyone else here has, would that be worth the $10 more or would figuring out how to add a seal to a cheap toolbox work? Are you able to keep cans of powder in there easily?

The box I've got (19"?) isn't tall enough to store powder cans standing up unless you remove the tray. And I wouldn't worry about sealing the box to be air or water tight unless you live in a very humid area, just keep the cans sealed. And make sure you don't use a metal tool box for storage because if you powder does ever go up it allows it to build up pressure and become a bomb. Most folks I know use wooden crates or plastic ammo cans/boxes. Many just put it on a shelf in a safe place in the original cans. Black Powder in the container it's sold in is pretty stable.
