A thief could.

A fork just destroyed one of those guys.

@@johnh8705 vaultek updated some software so you cant do that anymore. He did some free RnD for them

Well you can still break into it with a $13 lock pick. 4sec top. Even faster then the fork.

@@DirtyCruze. no you can't... they fixed both of those no rods fit inside the box AND even if they're in, it won't reprogram u til after its opened properly. Do you read or just shitpost?

@@rajgill7576 yeah on the versions. I just saw video where someone picked one. What everyone sent their safes back ,and had the locks fixed? That's what you're telling me?

LMAAAOOOOO

Funny 😁 However the value is subjective to the situation. A hi point may be invaluable when nothing else is available to go bang when zombies are coming. Theft isn’t really a point with this box. If it keeps children’s booger hooks from gaining access, then it may be a good place for a hi point.

Yea, my mother said thats one of her fears of my carrying since I have an older truck with no alarm. But if I have this bolted to my truck, I doubt they would spend to much time on it.

@@GreyBlackWolf I'm take that advice with my old thang

Thats if they don't take the vehicle. Vaultek needs to step their game up. These aren't $40 safes.

You are correct that anyone with enough time and tools can defeat anything, HOWEVER, I was a welder and metal fabricator for many years, and I have built custom safes for people, and I can tell you when you increase the wall thickness to 3/16" steel, the ability to pry open the safe, becomes almost impossible. I do not understand why companies continue making very thin sheet metal safes. The additional cost to upgrade to 3/16" steel might at most double your cost, however the first time you have a $700 pistol stolen as a result, it would have been cheaper to buy a 3/16" steel safe. The problem is, almost nobody makes them, especially in car safes. At 3/16" steel, the thief will need heavy duty power tools, like a 4 1/2" grinder minimum which is going to make a TON of noise and look like a 4th of July fireworks show for about 15 to 20 minutes minimum.

Or go the cheaper route and buy a tile GPS tracker and leave it in the box.

@@129revelation Exactly my thoughts. Good idea, too.

And for quick access in a break in situation I have this safe it’s great what Burglar will spend eight minutes in someone’s house anyway !

Yeah but if you can pick it up and leave the area you'll have all the time in the world to get it open

I think it would have been easier because he would have had more leverage. In the entire video the safe was sitting in the normal position and not turned on its side.

Northern Ninety7 It would walk away in seconds. What you secure it to the only hope.

@@JVONROCK No duh you secure it. But the point is if they do steal the safe, at least they dont have access to the gun right away in your own home.

Because it’s his own safe KINGSTONSPRIDE

@@Anonymous-tf6uk 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I wouldn't quite call them a budget safe. A Vaultek VT20i is $400 and it's only big enough to hold two pistols and a two extra magazines. It cost as much as some fireproof, floor standing rifle safes that I saw at Sportsman's Warehouse this week.

He made me rethink my decision about of all these small safes that dude is 👍

Ephraim Brito I would definitely keep it. I have two and like them both. Be sure to program the main finger a few different times to make sure you get accurate reads and opens. They have since added pieces to the sides to prevent where I got in so easily. They even sent out mod kits to current owners. Seem to be a stand up company.

what do you think about the safe gun box?

See my previous reply.

Nate Troglin I mean the gun box torture..

Ephraim Brito I have two others. Still use them today. Like them both

Thanks Tim! Completely understand your concern, which is why it's important to have our safes secure. We've been testing the brackets the upgrade kits are working great.

nah

I love mine. The main use is to discourage theft and keep kids out. It is more than secure enough for that.

@@NateTroglin I get mine today. After reading the comments, I think the note of initial deterrent makes sense. Thanks for the vid!

I just ordered two of these myself. Having reviewed a bunch of online reviews and videos of the Vaultek VT20i if anything this video is actually even more reassuring that I made right decision to purchase these-it looks solid and well made with great features-not only keypad entry but also biometric and key-lock for backup-but also bluetooth app with fingerprint info required to open it with Iphone (I view this as backup in case keypad or fingerprint reader malfunctions or I forget numerical keypad code)-and app also allows you to track attempts at opening it and who did so if it was a authorized user. Compared to Gunvault, Sentry Safe, Liberty gunbox, and Barska, Vaultek looks like best bang for the buck. And I also have a Fort Knox pistol box ($260 retail) with mechanical simplex lock which is truly made of safe thick steel and heavy as sin-but takes a few seconds to open and is big and heavy enough that you cant just hide it in a kitchen drawer and I wouldnt consider carting it to and from my vehicle to take it with me while traveling (although in fairness-Ft Knox makes a smaller version intended to be used in vehicle-would fit in some center console storage areas-but would ideally need to be bolted into the console box making it a permanent installation and it costs as much as the fullsize Ft Knox pistol box) And the mechanical lock pistol safes like Ft Knox do have a finite number of combinations (1081 total for a 5 button simplex style lock)-so with enough time and opportunity a teenager could eventually guess the combo if they were determined to do so. Plus if you ever forget the combination and dont have it written down somewhere safe as a backup-you are locked out from your gun-and will have to probably pay someone to breakopen and destroy your pistol safe.So if you want a good sound safe with rapid electronic access and backup entry with mechanical key lock-Vaultek to me seems the best choice at present-and portable enough to use at your bedside table or in kitchen drawer or office drawer and also to take with you in your vehicle when you travel (using provided cable to secure it to car seat frame to discourage a grab and go thief). You cannot equate these portable pistol safes with a fullsize 1000lb fire resistant floor safe-they have different intended functions-and price and features reflect that difference.

@@gregoryhall3156 yeah I've had mine for a week now and love that I can take it in my car easily. That he was able to break it doesn't concern you?

Charge it? Or use the key?

@@NateTroglin it’s fully charged and I don’t know where they key is 😂. Thankfully I found a video where a guy uses a $15 lock picker to get one open so I’m just gonna do that

@@nathandavis2726 or call them and order a new key

@@NateTroglin I did that too but because I never registered it they apparently can't send me a new key, Their CS actually said I would have to break into it lol

B B go ahead and post a video of you hacking the bluetooth! Can't wait to see that

Or you could disable Bluetooth on the safe preventing a hack that isn’t possible unless the hacker gains access to the safe owners phone B B.

Not really Andrew Camus... if you bolt it down to the floor and tie a security wire a their wouldn’t take their time to steal it and break in.
