More About DEWALT Coolers at Blain's Farm & Fleet
Whether you’re camping in the mountains, tailgating with friends, or hanging out at the beach all day, a good cooler just makes life easier. It keeps drinks cold, food fresh, and everyone happy.

Blain’s Farm & Fleet has a cooler for just about every kind of outing. You’ll find hard-sided, soft-sided, and even coolers with wheels that make hauling drinks and food a lot easier.

FAQs
How long will a cooler keep ice frozen?
That depends on the cooler, the weather, and how often it’s opened. Well-insulated coolers can hold ice for a few days, while basic ones usually last a day or two.
What’s the best way to keep food and drinks cold longer?
Start with a chest that's already been chilled, use plenty of ice or ice packs, and arrange everything so there are as gaps between items as possible. Keep the drinks you’ll grab most often near the top and try not to open the lid more than you need to.
How do I clean a cooler and get rid of odors?
After each use, wash it with warm, soapy water and let it air-dry with the lid open. If odors stick around, baking soda or a light vinegar mix will freshen it up.
When should I use a soft-sided vs. a hard-sided cooler?
Reach for a soft-sided cooler when you’re heading out for a short trip, packing lunch, or planning a picnic. They’re lightweight, easy to carry, and simple to stash when you’re done. They work best when you’ll be reaching in and out of it often and only need things to stay cold for a few hours.
A hard-sided one makes more sense for longer days and bigger plans—like camping, beach trips, tailgates, or all-day travel. They offer better insulation, keep ice longer, and handle hot weather better. If you need cold drinks and fresh food to last all day (or longer), this is the way to go.
