    I’ve seen the Lock Picking Lawyer piece. It is severely outdated.
    To clarify my thoughts on this device. I think your gun should be on you all the time while you are awake. A weapon that isn’t in use should be stored in a safe or vault. This isn’t a safe/vault. This is something that sits on your nightstand and secures your gun while you sleep. This is to keep your 3 year old from screwing with it when she has a bad dream and hasn’t woken you with “dad, there is a monster under the bed”. Yet. Don’t mistake me on appropriate use cases. That said. I do like that it is all manual.
    If you would like me to fill it with candy and let my nieces and nephews try to open it, I will do this thing.

      In addition to what VSO already said, the lock picking lawyer video. He did not say it’s a retention device. Not a safe. He did not convey the context in which this is meant to be used. It’s like doing a video on a level 4 retention duty holster and saying “look, I figured it out”. The StopBox is design to conceal and prevent easy access to others while your gun is in use. Also, he lied. He was not correct when saying there are only 6 combinations. We literally engineered and manufacture the StopBox ourselves. We know how it works and how many combinations there are, he clearly didn’t. On the original there were 15 interchangeable, or 81 with the expansion pack. And that’s only if you understand how exactly it works. Otherwise there are hundreds of permutations that keep the StopBox locked if you don’t know exactly how it works. There’s also a lid pressure safety he clearly didn’t know about and if he had put something about the thickness of a gun inside. Also, that was our gen 1 product. This is the StopBox Pro and is a completely new product. Fully redesigned. We’ve tried reaching out to him to correct his inaccuracies and misrepresentations with no luck.

    That has some nice features but I can't justify paying money for a plastic lockbox with cheap, external plastic hinges. You say it's to keep the kids out and to keep honest people honest but if my daughter wanted in that she would get in it and could probably do it with a knife. Nope.... It's great idea, but the WRONG MATERIAL. If the manufacturer made it out of heavy gauge steel with a mounting bracket I would buy one, maybe two.

      60 seconds and a butter knife and I'll get into the inside of anything plastic if it is made of at least two pieces fastened together. It won't be pretty and it wont fit back together again nicely but It's just a matter of leverage.

    This is much better than the first version of this, but you should still talk about the nice of possible combinations. My 7 y/o, if left unsupervised, would have sat at this trying different combinations until it opened. Two small hands will work in place of one large hand.

  • @tacticalteager7920
    @tacticalteager7920 8 годин тому

    These are simply a problem. I know it's not a safe, and I know you think a gun should be on you or stored properly at all times. However, these are going to make people complacent. I've even seen StopBox advertise them inconsistently as "a retention device" AND "a safe" in their ads. With limited combinations, this will inevitably provide easy access to a minor. Also kids with small hands will just use both. Can't help but feel these will be a false sense of security...why even bother when safer options are available?

    If you have smaller than adult sized hands you can't do the finger combo and the thumb...unless you've got two hands, thus allowing you to use one hand for the finger combos and the other to push the thumb button.
    What about small handed and short fingered wives trying to access this thing as I've found that most child proof things are normally only wife proof?
    If you want to do an honest review, give it to your nieces and nephews to play with and see if they can get into it - put a few bucks or some candy inside and tell them they've got twenty minutes to get into it - with how limited the combinations are, I'm betting it might last ten minutes.
    Holy crap - just looked it up and that piece of plastic runs $120 from their website - might as well buy a real one for that kind of money.

      @@StopBoxUSA Thank you for responding. My reasoning, with all due respect, is that this is a plastic box made of lesser quality than a plastic pelican case, which costs less. The alternative top selling boxes similar to yours cost $75-$180 for a steel box too. Don't get me wrong, I see the purpose and job it fulfills. It's a very nice case but $200.00 is simply too much for a quick access box, let alone safe. Maybe I cannot appreciate the product's quality over yt. At $99.99 I'd buy it tomorrow.
